Letra de The Girls And The Dogs
The girls

Are as fast as a game

Are as bright as a flame

And you're always to blame



The girls

Are as pink as the light

And as dark as the night

And they're always right



The girls

Are as cold as the sphinx

Always dreaming of minks

They drive you to drink



The girls

Are as soft as a sigh

That whispers good-bye

And leaves you to cry



But the dogs

Well, they're only dogs

Just wagging their tails

As they watch it end



Oh, the dogs

Well, they're only dogs

And maybe that's why

They're man's best friend



The girls

Can make you feel cold

Can make you feel old

An antique to be sold



The girls

They play with your heart

They tear you apart

You're never too smart



The girls

They throw you from towers

They'll whip you with flowers

It depends on the hours



The girls

Will treat you like trash

Or let you be brash

It depends on your cash



But the dogs

Don't depend on a thing

They just lick your face

When they see it end



Oh, the dogs

Don't depend on a thing

And maybe that's why

They're man's best friend

___



The girls

You know that they are vain

They will poison your brain

They will drive you insane



The girls

Will laugh at your jokes

How they love the coat on (???)

But it is all a hoax



The girls

Are still making dates

they still making you wait

and they say you are late



The girls

Are yours for a throw (?)

At least you think so

Ah but you will never know



The dogs

Well you know the dogs

They lift up a leg

As they see it end



The dogs

Well you know the dogs

And maybe that's why

They're man's best friend

___



The girls

They're not what they seem

They all have a scheme

They call it a dream



The girls

Are as hot as they please

And you're down on your knees

With the greatest of ease



The girls

Say you're on the right track

Then they take it all back

Tie it up in a sack



The girls

They will give it of course

But they give with such force

That it gives you remorse



But the dogs

They give nothing at all

They just lift a leg

As they watch it end



Oh, the dogs

They give nothing at all

And that's the reason why

They're man's best friend



And yet it's because of the girls

When they've knocked us about

And our tears want to shout

That we kick the dogs out
