If Only We Were Dogs - The Juliana Hatfield Three

when i see you on the street

i wanna run right up

and jump all over you

but that isn’t polite

they would take me away

probably put me in jail

'cause i couldn’t behave

like a person should behave

if only we were dogs

it would be so easy to be

happy happy happy

you’d be scratching at my door when you want to be let in

and we’d wrestle in the mud ‘til i had you on your back

we’d be howling at the night, baring our teeth when we’re mad

so we know exactly where we stand

if only we were dogs

it would be so easy to be

happy happy happy

we’d lick the crumbs off plates together

and sleep all day

doing things that feel good and never

with any remorse or shame

if only we were dogs

it would be so easy to be

happy happy happy

if only we were dogs

it would be so easy to be

happy happy happy
