She’s not useless — she’s just a girl
She’s not stupid — she’s just
A whirl of emotion, stranger to caution
Now you can straighten her out
Sure she’ll pout
But that’s what love’s about
She gets angry — say it’s cute when she’s upset
Keep her hungry — never overfeed
A pet for convenience, try to be lenient
Don’t hold the leash too tight
Train her right
You’ve got her brain to fight
Did you really feel life was that unreal, oh no
Did you just assume that no one else needs room, how slow
Now is it any wondеr she’s looking for some thunder?
Shе’s not angry, it’s just a bad time of the moon
She’s not pretty — she’s just well made up
With glue and a paint box, making your heart knock
But they’re all alike in the dark
Guard your heart
And keep it well apart
They always told you it was better to be born a man
You never understood it’s down to more than size
Shrug your shoulders, say you’re never gonna understand
I don’t know, but you should try
She ain’t leaving, she can’t even dial a telephone
You’re not grieving, you just hate to eat alone
She’s expected — she’ll be rejected
Then she’ll come crawling home
Crawling home
She must come crawling home
Throw the dog a bone
Throw the dog a bone
Don’tcha throw the dog a bone
Throw the dog a bone
