I'm a stray dog, I'm on the loose
I ain't got nobody, ain't no use
I'm a stray dog, bound to stay that way
Ain't no cages you can keep me in
No place to take me I ain't already been
I'm a stray dog, bound to stay that way
Round midnight I'll be howlin' at the moon
Scratchin' at your back door
Lemme in your room
'Cause I'm a stray dog
Hungry all the time
I got a bad bite, worse than my bark
'Cause a long time ago somebody broke my heart
I'm a stray dog, can you love me anyway
