Every Dog Has His Day



I didn’t know it, but I believed it to be true
You didn’t show it, what was happening to you
When your feelings redefined and you changed your worried mind
And you left me way behind in the cold
I remember a time when you treated me so kind
Then you let me go, on my own
 
I believe that love will come my way
I believe that love will come my way
I believe that love will come my way
I believe every dog has his day
 
I didn’t feel it, it caught me by surprise
I didn’t see it, the look in your eyes
When your feelings redefined and you changed your worried mind
And you left me way behind in the cold
I remember a time when you treated me so kind
Then you let me go on my own
  
Believe me when I say this dog will have his day
Howling for the love that will be coming his
You can call me babe, you can call me any time
When you need a friend to by your lonely side
When you’re lonely
