You been biting, biting the hand that feeds you
I tried to give you baby everything you need
I been kicked around left out in the yard
well I been beaten baby I been whopped and scarred
I don't believe in magic in the hoodoo spells
but I see our love baby going straight to hell
well I'm through crying, howling out your name
scratching at your door baby, hanging on your chains

yeah I say what I mean and I mean what I say
just remember baby every dog has his day

you say my bark is worse than my bite
well baby you don't want to be starting
don't you start no fight
I ain't going to sleep outside your door
honey I'm through crawlin', crwalin' 'cross your floor
I don't believe in magic, no hoodoo curse
I seen our love baby go from bad to worse
well I'm through crying, howling out your name
scratching at your door honey, yanking on your chains

Well I say what I mean and I mean what I say
just remember baby every dog has his day

I won't roll over for you again
I swear the way you treat me girl it's a shame and a sin
I'm through running when I hear my name
I'm tired of taking most all of the blame
I sure don't believe in not in your love
it's like a fist baby wrapped in a velvet glove
yeah I'm through trying howling out your name
scracthing at your back door yanking on your chain

I say what I mean and I mean what I say
just remember baby every dog has his day
