Story Behind The Song
I had been a really good wife and I felt like I was like a puppydog following him around all the time and always doing what he wanted and never causing any trouble but I got tired of being treated like that and so I wrote in the song that I aint gonna be his puppydog no more. At first when I wrote the song I said "I'm your puppydog and I'll follow you wherever you go and then later I change it to I ain't gonna be your puppy dog no more

Lyrics
Puppy Dog
You were my master and I was your puppy dog
I’d get your slippers, and hand you the paper,
I never talked back to you, you could count on me,
the rules have changed now honey, as you’re about to see.
Chorus
I aint gonna be your puppy dog, and follow you wherever you go
I aint gonna be your puppy dog, your puppy dog no more
I ain’t gonna whimper whine and howl when you call out to me
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, you just wait and see.
Just like the house pet, you’d take me out for a walk
You’d notice some young thang wanna mosey on over and talk.
It was like you’d leave me all alone the one I loved the most,
Yeah, just like a puppy dog tied up to a dirty ol’ post.
Chorus
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, and follow you wherever you go
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, your puppy dog no more
I ain’t gonna whimper whine and howl when you call out to me
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, you just wait and see.
Well, I’m through stayin’ here, tell me what’s the use
You’ll come home this evenin’ ready to make a truce
But I’ll brave the wind and the rain, fight the blowin’ snow
‘Cause I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, your puppy dog no more.
Chorus
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, and follow you wherever you go
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, your puppy dog no more
I ain’t gonna whimper whine and howl when you call out to me
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, you just wait and see.
I ain’t gonna whimper whine and howl when you call out to me
I ain’t gonna be your puppy dog, you just wait and see.
