Stray Dog - BAILEN

You lie awake, silent, cold

Forget your words, they’re nowhere inside you

Conveniently placed on a bar stool, you were there alone to say

You know where you come from, but you don’t know why

So you wrote me 'cause you’re not trying to be lonely

Empty, heartless as could have been to me

And I could see you now

Lookin' like a stray dog

Sleepin' next to me

I could feel your heart beat

Now you’re closin' in

Movin' through the gray fog

Stray dog, why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no, why’d I let you get so close to me?

The girl you still love moved down to the deep south just to lose you

Now you spend most of your time on your own drinkin', and you

You say you don’t buy into all that community bullshit

So you sit in silence and blame the sun, say how you

Hold me 'cause you’re not trying to be lonely

Empty, heartless as could have been to me

And I could see you now

Lookin' like a stray dog

Sleepin' next to me

I could feel your heart beat

Now you’re closin' in

Movin' through the gray fog

Stray dog, why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no, why’d I let you get so close to me?

Hey now, lover, ask me twice

And I might take you home tonight

Hey now, lover, tell me once

And I won’t have the strength to fend you off

Hold me 'cause you’re not trying to be lonely

Empty, heartless as could have been to me

And I could see you now

Lookin' like a stray dog

Sleepin' next to me

I could feel your heart beat

Now you’re closin' in

Movin' through the gray fog

Stray dog, why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no, why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no

Why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no

Why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no

Why’d I let you get so close to me?

Oh, no, no

Why’d I let you get so close to me?
