Kicking The Dog - Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston

I want to know where she goes

I want to know what she does

I wonder, who are these people

She likes so much better than me

She feels bad enough

Things did not work out

And when she sees me

And she lets her guard down

She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong

She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong

And it doesn’t help anyone, no, not at all

I said I had a girlfriend

Made me scared of the world

The way it sounds when I wrote it down

Makes her hate that girl

I turn myself inside out to put the blame on her

And when she sees me

And she lets her guard down

She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong

She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong

And it doesn’t help anyone, no, not at all

We walk around and try to talk

But I’m just twisting her arm to try and get what I want

I just don’t know when to stop

I’m twisting her broken arm

I’m twisting her broken arm

I’m kicking the dog, I’m doing wrong

We’re kicking the dog, we’re doing wrong

And it doesn’t help anyone, no, not at all

Kicking the dog

We’re kicking the dog

Kicking the dog

Stop kicking the dog
