From the recording Love & Hugs & Paws (CHOO-CHOO Edition)
Lyrics
[Verse 1 ]
I thought you’d calm me, keep my worries away,
But you bark at the mailman ten times a day.
I thought you’d be gentle, quiet, and sweet,
But you steal all the socks right off my feet.
[Verse 2]
I can’t sleep, you snore,
Your paws push me off the floor,
I said I needed peace,
But you just beg for more.
[Chorus]
Oh, I got you to ease my mind,
But you’re the rest less, rowdy kind.
Supposed to help me through the night,
But you keep me up till morning light.
[Verse 3]
I thought you’d sit still, be my therapy,
But you chewed up the couch and the old TV.
You track muddy paw prints across the floor,
And then howl like a siren for more, more, more!
[Pre-Chorus]
You drool in my lap,
You nap, then you yap,
I thought you’d heal my heart,
But you just steal my snacks.
[Chorus]
Oh, I got you to ease my mind,
But you’re the restless, rowdy kind.
Supposed to help me through the night,
But you keep me up till morning light.
[Bridge]
Neighbors complain,
My patience runs thin,
But then you curl up,
And my heart caves in.
[Chorus]
Oh, I got you to heal my soul,
And somehow you made me whole.
Every bark, every mess, every sleepless night,
I’d do it all again, you make it all feel right.
[Outro ]
Yeah, I thought I was saving me…
But it’s you who set me free.
You’re my chaos, you’re my song,
You’re my chaos, you’re my song,
In your madness, I belong.
