Lyrics of Call Me a Dog by Temple of the Dog
verse
You call me a dog, well, that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use to pretend you're wrong
When you call me out, I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise, you can see through
verse
They say it's bad luck to get fallen for me
What can I do to make it good for you?
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold
chorus
Oh, when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
Ooh-ooh, to call me a dog
verse
You tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers and wolves
You threw me out 'cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a handful of coal
chorus
Oh, when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
chorus
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
Or leave it alone, yeah
You call me a dog
bridge
Well, that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
That bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on that leash and you drag me along
verse
Come on, yeah
chorus
And when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all, yeah
chorus
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
Or leave it alone, yeah-yeah
outro
If you call me a dog
