Dirty Dog
Rocking Relationships: Unleashing the Dirty Dog Within
Lyrics
Can't you see I'm a lovable man
Expressing self-perceived likability as a man.
Got a plaque on the wall
Highlighting an achievement with a plaque on the wall.
Baby can I help you understand
Asking if the partner needs understanding.
Times a-wastin' and I'm ready to rock
Indicating readiness for action and excitement.
Well did I show you omy clock
Referencing a clock with diamonds, possibly a metaphor.
It's got diamonds all around the band
Describing the adorned clock in more detail.
Try to touch you, you push me away
Encountering resistance when attempting closeness.
All I hear you say is
Noting the partner's repeated rejection.
Get down dirty dog
Advising the partner to be more assertive and daring.
You don't know right from wrong
Criticizing the partner's lack of moral judgment.
And I'm not one of your bitches
Rejecting a subordinate role in the relationship.
Get back you dirty dog
Instructing the partner to retreat due to inappropriate actions.
Been messin' where you don't belong
Accusing the partner of interfering where unwelcome.
Stop sniffin' round my britches
Using a metaphor to discourage unwanted advances.
Can't take it when you're callin' me names
Expressing discomfort with derogatory name-calling.
Yeah I think it's a shame
Regretting the situation and finding it unfortunate.
You can do me like the way you do
Alluding to the partner's actions with a suggestive tone.
You big teaser now you throw me bone
Describing the partner as a teaser with inconsistent behavior.
Then you hurry me home
Highlighting contradictory actions and confusion.
Honey what am I supposed to do
Expressing confusion and seeking guidance.
I don't deserve it
Feeling undeserving of mistreatment.
You're makin' me pay
Noting a punitive aspect in the relationship.
You push me away when you say
Experiencing rejection when seeking closeness.
Get down dirty dog
Reiterating the advice to be bold and assertive.
You don't know right from wrong
Reiterating criticism for moral judgment.
And I'm not one of your bitches
Asserting independence and rejecting subservience.
You said get back you dirty dog
Repeating the instruction to retreat due to inappropriate actions.
Been messin' where you don't belong
Reiterating the accusation of meddling where unwelcome.
Stop sniffin' round my britches
Repeating the metaphorical warning against unwanted advances.
Well that's a dog gone lie
Expressing disbelief or skepticism about a statement.
You gotta give me a try
Requesting an opportunity to prove oneself.
I'm walkin' out that door
Deciding to leave the relationship.
Ain't gonna scratch no more
Committing to refrain from causing harm.
Gonna sever my relation
Deciding to end the connection completely.
Dig a little deeper hole
Advising introspection and gaining control.
Get a little self control
Suggesting restraint and moderation.
One more night out in the cold
Anticipating a lonely night outside the relationship.
Face down in my doggie bowl
Using humor to describe a pitiful situation.
She said
Quoting the partner's response.
Get down dirty dog
Reiterating the call for assertiveness.
You don't know right from wrong
Reiterating criticism for moral judgment.
And I'm not one of your bitches
Asserting independence and rejecting subservience.
Get back you dirty dog
Repeating the instruction to retreat due to inappropriate actions.
Been messin' where you don't belong
Reiterating the accusation of meddling where unwelcome.
Stop sniffin' round my britches
Repeating the metaphorical warning against unwanted advances.
