Lyrics
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks
Expressing the common belief that it's challenging to teach new things to someone set in their ways.
But I've got something up my sleeve
Suggesting a hidden or unexpected plan or ability.
You can lead a horse to water
Referencing the difficulty of influencing someone to do something they may resist.
And I bet I'll make you drink
Confidently asserting the ability to make someone do something against their initial reluctance.
I got all the bells and whistles
Having all the necessary tools or advantages.
To wrap you around my fingers
Expressing the ability to manipulate or control someone easily.
And if you say pretty pretty please
Implies the willingness to fulfill a request if asked in a polite and charming manner.
You can act like a dog with a bone
Suggesting that one can behave possessively or assertively in a relationship.
As long as I'm around
Stating a condition for the mentioned behaviors to occur, indicating a sense of presence or companionship.
This ain't catch and kiss
Rejecting a conventional notion, asserting that the relationship is not merely a game of catch and kiss.
You know it's my feeding time
Indicating a specific time for attention or care.
We'll go hunting for a feast
Describing a shared activity or pursuit, possibly metaphorical for a satisfying experience.
And if you say pretty pretty please
Reiterating the willingness to comply if asked politely.
You can act like a dog with a bone
Repeating the idea of behaving possessively or assertively with a humorous comparison.
As long as I'm around
Reiterating the condition that the mentioned behaviors are permissible only when the speaker is present.
I got all the bells and whistles
Reasserting the possession of advantageous qualities.
To wrap you around my fingers
Repeating the idea of easily manipulating or controlling someone.
Yeah I got the gift of the gab
Claiming to have the talent of persuasive communication.
And you can act like a dog with a bone
Continuing the metaphor of possessive or assertive behavior in a relationship.
As long as I'm around
Reiterating that the mentioned behaviors are acceptable as long as the speaker is present.
As long as I'm around
Repeating the conditional statement for emphasis.
As long as I'm around
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the speaker's presence in the context of the mentioned behaviors.
