How can you face me,
After what I've gone through,
All on account of you,
Tearing my heart in two?

Woman, have you no conscience,
How could you be so bold?
Why have you grown so cold
After the lies you told?

No-one now seems to be on the level,
Since I've found out that my angel was just a dog,
Known as the devil!

Why does I love ya, hon,
Why did you teach me how?
After you broke each vow,
How can you face me now?

Oh you dirty dog, get out in the street!
Get out!  Get out!
How can you face me now?

No, I didn't go there last night!
No, I didn't go there, neither,
I went to the other place!

Yeah!  Don't you talk back to me, shut up!
Well alright, take you dog goin' on the street!
Yeah!  Get out, just get up, keep goin'!
Yeah!
