Lyrics
Let Me Keep the Dog
Verse
You can have the house, it's just a old wood pile
You can keep the car, too many miles
I'd miss dat ol piano, I won't lie
But take the television, it only hurts my eyes
Chorus
If you goona leave me baby let me keep the dog
I know she'll stick beside whether rich or poor
If you goona leave me baby let me keep the dog
She's the only one worth fighting for
Verse
You can keep the singer, I don't sew
That suitcase will get ya, where you need to go
Pick the vinyl records that you hold most dear
Now take that ol rocking chair and rock right outta here
Verse
You can have the house, it's justa wood pile
You can keep the car, too many miles
I'll miss dat ol piano, I won't lie
But take the television cause it, hurts my eyes
