Lyrics Call Me a Dog - Temple of the Dog

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

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

Oh, when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all

Uh, to call me a dog

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

Oh, when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all

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

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
Oh, c'mon, yeah

And when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all, yeah

And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
Or leave it alone, yeah

If you call me a dog
