if I was your dog

if I was your dog

I would be your best friend

my devotion to you

would never end

I would fetch your slippers

I would wag my tail

I would bark at the postman

when he brings the mail

we would have ourselves

a real dialogue

if I was your dog

if I was your cat

I would not ignore you

I would purr and meow

and do a whole lot for you

I would be your little pal

who almost never talks

I would sleep and dream of birds

and poop inside a box

you would see me hanging around

and say "imagine that!"

if I was your cat

          it's tough to be an animal

          in this society

          you should take me home

          and keep me company

if I was your man

I would be a human

I could be your sweetheart

and you would be my woman

I would follow you around

and be on my best behavior

you could be my soulmate

and I'd never be a stranger

I would take care of you

and do the best I can

if I was your man
