Hugz 'N Pawz

Lyrics

[Intro]
“Don’t be scared, bruh--I only growl on the downbeat.”

[Verse 1]
Heavy paws, wide stance, head held high
Big ol’ chest, got that look in my eye
They say I’m rough, they say I’m mean
But I’m just guardin’ my family dream

I’m the muscle with a gentle code
Love’s my engine, and it’s overload
Don’t need no diamond or fancy meal
‘Cause I’m all bark with a heart of steel

[Pre-Chorus]
(He’s a tough boy!) That’s what they say
But this tough boy melts away
(When his hooman calls his name)
All my guard just fades away

[Chorus]
I got a heart of steel, but it beats for you
Big dog love, tried and true
Yeah, I’m strong, but I’m feelin’ sweet
Got a Rottie rhythm in every heartbeat
I got a heart of steel, can’t you see?
All my bark turns to harmony
When you’re near, that’s my cue
Heart of steel--but soft for you

[Verse 2]
I look mean, but I cuddle tight
Snore like thunder every night
I chase the mail, but I guard your shoes
One growl, one kiss--baby, you choose

People cross when they see my face
But they don’t know my puppy grace
I’ll protect, but I’ll never steal
I’m your bodyguard with a heart of steel

[Pre-Chorus]
(He’s a tough boy!) That’s what they say
(But my love’s the Rottie way)
When you whistle, I appear
Every growl turns into cheer

[Chorus]
I got a heart of steel, but it beats for you
Big dog love, tried and true
Yeah, I’m strong, but I’m feelin’ sweet
Got a Rottie rhythm in every heartbeat
I got a heart of steel, can’t you see?
All my bark turns to harmony
When you’re near, that’s my cue
Heart of steel--but soft for you

[Bridge]
Leather leash and a golden soul
When I wag, I lose control
Big and bold, but love’s my deal
‘Cause I’m your Rottie with a heart of steel

[Chorus]
I got a heart of steel, but it beats for you
Big dog love, loyal and true
Yeah, I’m tough, but I’m tender too
All my growls just say “I love you”
I got a heart of steel, can’t you see?
Every beat’s pure loyalty
When you smile, my guard is through
Got a heart of steel
Got a heart of steel--but soft for you

[Outro]
“Don’t let the muscles fool ya… I’m just a big ol’ lap dog with style.”
