He's a Tramp

Lyrics
He's a tramp but they love him
He's known for being a person who lives a carefree, unconventional lifestyle, yet people are fond of him despite this.
Breaks a new heart every day
He constantly causes emotional pain by repeatedly breaking the hearts of others.
He's a tramp, they adore him
Despite his flaws, others admire and have affection for him.
And I only hope he'll stay that way
The speaker hopes he remains true to his nature, despite the challenges it may bring.
He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's described as a rascal, a person of dubious character.
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a vagabond, a person who lives without a fixed lifestyle or job and might not be morally upright.
He's a tramp but I love him

Yes, even I have got it pretty bad
Even the speaker is affected by their emotions for this person.
You can never tell when he'll show up
His appearances are unpredictable and often cause trouble.
He gives you plenty of trouble
He brings significant challenges or difficulties to those around him.
I guess, he's just a no account pup
He's perceived as a worthless or insignificant person, possibly irresponsible.
But I wish that he were double
The speaker desires a greater presence or more of his attention, despite his flaws.
He's a tramp, he's a rover
He's a wanderer, a person who travels without a fixed destination.
And there's nothing more to say
There's nothing further to add about him; his characteristics are clear.
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
Even if he's a person of questionable morals, he's skilled at it.
And I wish that I could travel his way
The speaker wishes they could live life as freely as he does.
You can never tell when he'll show up

I guess, he's just a no account pup
He's considered worthless or insignificant, echoing line 13.
But I wish that he were double
Similar to line 14, the speaker desires more of his presence or attention.
He's a tramp, he's a rover
Reiteration of his wandering nature, echoing line 16.
And there's nothing more to say
Similar to line 17, there's nothing further to elaborate about him.
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
Reiteration that even if he's morally questionable, he's adept at it.
And I wish that I could travel his way
The speaker wishes for the freedom to live life as he does, echoing line 19.
I wish that I could travel his way
Repetition of the desire to live life in the same carefree manner as him.
What a dog
