Man Bites Dog Lyrics by Keep Left

Letters From Fielding

0

Didn't mean to be obsessed
Didn't mean to follow you home from work
I didn't mean to tear your dress
Didn't mean to act like some kind of a jerk
You didn't mean to say my name
Five times in front of the mirror
You're the reason I came
You're the only reason that I'm here

And it's man bites dog, dog bites car
Car keeps bringin' me to where you are
You say that you don't wanna see me
Don't let's start
Man bites dog and dog bites car

Imagine my surprise
Seeing you at your beauty salon
You could've been more nice
Last week
I was only sitting on your lawn
Minding my own business
I've got a lot of better things to do
But no matter where I go these days
Seems I'm always runnin' into you

And it's man bites dog and dog bites car
Car keeps bringin' me to where you are
You say that you don't wanna see me
Don't let's start
Man bites dog and dog bites car
Dog bites car

Oh, oh
All I ever wanted was a word
To hear your voice
Speak to you
And only to be heard
Oh, please!
Wake up!
...I think I broke your window

I like it when you tell me to get away
'Cause it means you're thinkin' of me
I like it when you say it's over
I love it when you say you'll sue
I like it when you say you hate me
'Cause I know it means you love me

And I love this restraining order
Because it comes from you

And it's man bites dog and dog bites car
Car keeps bringin' me to where you are
Cat kicks mouse 'cause it lost the [?]
I'm in your house but you can't see me
All your plants are dead
And your goldfish, too
And I'm still lookin' high and low for you
But out in the driveway comes another cop car
And you won't even tell me where you are
Man bites dog bites car
Dog bites car
That's just the way it is
I don't make the rules

And I love this restraining order
Because it comes from you
