Kevin Gilbert - Something Nice For My Dog


Dagny wags her tail each time i play this song
And sometimes when i sing she starts to howl along
And theres no two ways about it, she loves me when it's good and when it's bad
You did not like her and she did not like you
There was always something not quite right between you two
I should have known when you kicked her off the bed that I was next in line for sleeping on the floor

I only asked if we could come in from the rain
you looked at me as if I'd completely gone insane
you would not do something nice for my dog

I couldn't believe it when you hit her with that shoe
Just couldn't figure what the hell she'd done to you
And I know you said it was the first time, but you did not say that it would be the last

Why should I sit and plan untimely ends for you
Why should I cry and moan and wonder what to do
When I can do something nice for my dog
Something good and something true were all the things that fled from you I know
'Till there was nothing left to say and nowhere left to go

I don't need someone smart, I don't need someone rich
I just want someone nice, I already have a bitch
And I know now that i haven't found her
But me and Dagny think she's just around the bend

She'll bring the kind of love that you could never give
She'll bring me joy and hope and make me want to live
And she'll bring something nice for my dog
