I WOULDN'T TREAT MY DOG (LIKE YOU TREAT ME)
(Cy Coben)

Skeeter Davis - 1967



 
I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
If I made my dog cry like you made me cry yesterday
The neighbors all would go and call the ASPCA

I wouldn't hurt my dog like you hurt me, babe
I wouldn't say those mean old things to him
If I pushed my little hound the way you push me around
A fightin' bitin' mean ol' pooch he'd be, babe
But I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

(Instrumental Break)

I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
At least I'd take him out once in a while
I wouldn't pet another dog if he was standing there
I'd hug him and I'd kiss him and I'd let him know I care

I'd give him love and kindness all the time, babe
And he pays me back with loyalty
Though he's just a D-O-G, he's got feelings too, you see
And I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
No, I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
