Hound Dog Lyrics

[Chorus 1] [x2]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Snooping around my door

[Chorus 2]
You can wag your tail
Ain't going to feed you no more

[Verse 1]
When they said that you was high classed
Baby, I could see through that
Well, they said that you was high classed dog
But I can see through that, yeah
Baby, I know you ain't no real cool cat

[Chorus 1] [x2]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Snooping around my door

[Chorus 2]
You can wag your tail
Ain't going to feed you no more

[Verse 2]
You know you made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You know you made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You ain't looking for a man
You're just looking for a home, babe
[Chorus 1] [x2]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Snooping around my door

[Chorus 2]
You can wag your tail
Ain't going to feed you no more

[Outro]
Hey, hey (Hound, hound dog) [x3]
Ain't going to feed you no more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
