Lyrics
I miss her kisses
I long for the affectionate gestures of her kisses.
I miss the way she'd wait around until I'd done the dishes
I miss how she patiently waited for me to finish household chores like doing the dishes.
And I miss her smile
I yearn for the memory of her genuine and warm smile.
I miss the way we'd go for walks for miles and miles
I miss the times when we used to take long walks together covering extensive distances.
And she'd never bark up the wrong tree
She never misunderstood or misjudged situations, unlike you.
And she never told me who to be unlike you
She never dictated who I should be, unlike your controlling behavior.
I always moaned
I used to complain frequently.
Oh give a dog a bone
An expression suggesting discontent or frustration, similar to the phrase 'give a dog a bone.'
And I miss her hair
I miss the touch and feel of her hair.
I miss the way she'd jump into my arms after work
I miss the joyful way she greeted me by jumping into my arms after my work.
And I miss her face
I miss her visage, especially when she expressed annoyance because I had been away for days.
I miss the way she'd be annoyed 'cause I'd been away for days
She never criticized or complained about my absence.
And she'd never bark up the wrong tree
Similar to line 5, emphasizing her understanding and lack of misplaced criticism.
And she never told me who to be
Reiterating that she never imposed expectations on who I should become.
Unlike you, who always moaned
You, on the contrary, were consistently dissatisfied and critical.
Oh give a dog a bone
A repetition of the expression of discontent, paralleling line 8.
I miss her more than you
I feel a stronger sense of loss for her than for you.
I miss her more than you
Reaffirming the sentiment expressed in line 17.
I miss her more, it's true
Expressing the depth of longing for her.
I miss her more, and more, and more
An escalating repetition of the feeling of missing her intensively.
I miss her more than you
Restating the stronger emotional attachment to her than to you.
And she'd never bark up the wrong tree
Reiterating her understanding nature, contrasted with your behavior.
And she loved me for being me
Highlighting that she loved and accepted me for who I am.
And she would never moan
She never complained or expressed dissatisfaction.
Oh give the dog a bone
A repetition of the phrase 'give the dog a bone,' suggesting a desire for understanding or contentment.
Yes I miss her more
A reaffirmation of missing her more than anyone else.
Her shake a paw
A playful reference to a dog's action, perhaps symbolizing a joyful memory with her.
Oh I miss the dog more than you
Repeating the strong sentiment of missing the dog more than the person being addressed.
