How do you teach an old dog new tricks?
I'm always yanking at your leash
Oh, I don't know how to commit

How do you learn when it's better to roll over than dig up the dirt?
You're always chewing at my fleas
No, you don't know how to leave me be
You don't know how to leave me be

Yes, I resent any lover that's tried to get me fixed
Let me tell you it takes more than a stitch
To make me obedient

I wasn't bred to be loyal to a fault or man's best friend
I never learned how to stay
'Cause I was born a stray
Yes, I was born a stray

(Ooh)
(Yeah)

Oh, you moved on, put a shiny new collar on your fluffy little dog
I bet she don't mind eating out of your dish
But I never wanted to be your bitch
No, I never wanted to be your bitch

(Ooh)

How do you teach an old dog new tricks?
I'm always yanking at your leash
Oh, I don't know how to commit
Oh, I don't know how to commit
