From the recording Better Than
Lyrics
[Intro]
“Yeah, I know I snore...
But hey, you try breathin’ with this much charm.”
[Verse 1]
Wrinkles on my face, belly hangin’ low
Got a snort when I laugh, and I move kinda slow
Drool on my chin, and my legs too short
But when it comes to love, I’m a full-contact sport
[Pre-Chorus]
You can keep your fancy coats and fluff
I’m built for hugs, not speed or stuff
Yeah, I ain’t sleek, but I’m the truth
Every cuddle’s got the Bulldog proof
[Chorus]
I’m built for love, not made for runnin’
I’m thick with joy, my heart keeps hummin’
I’m slow and squishy, but that’s alright
I’m your shadow in the morning light
I’m built for love, every wrinkle and roll
Bulldog heart, and a Bulldog soul
[Verse 2]
Got a snore like thunder, drool like rain
You still laugh and call my name
Every sigh, every snuggle tight
You say I’m perfect every night
[Pre-Chorus]
I might wobble, but I never fall
Got love enough to fill us all
I ain’t built fast, I ain’t built lean
But I’m built for the love you’ve ever seen
[Chorus]
I’m built for love, not made for runnin’
I’m thick with joy, my heart keeps hummin’
I’m slow and squishy, but that’s alright
I’m your shadow in the morning light
I’m built for love, every wrinkle and roll
Bulldog heart, and a Bulldog soul
[Bridge]
(Spoken) “Some dogs chase balls--"
(Background singers) "I chase naps."
(Spoken) "I'm built for love!”
(Spoken) “Some got abs, I got--"
(Background singers) "--flabs deluxe edition.”
(Background singers) “Built for love!”
(Spoken) “But when you’re sad, who’s there?
Droolin’ on your shirt--me.”
[Chorus]
I’m built for love, not made for speed
You got the ball--I got what you need
I’m slow and steady, hey that’s my style
Every hug just lasts a while
I’m built for love, from head to toe
Bulldog heart, that’s how I roll
[Outro]
“Yeah, I know I snore loud…
But it’s just my way of singin’ you to sleep.”
