All I do is love you
All I do is love you
But look what you put me through
You come home drunk, angry and swinging
I cower in fear awaiting the stinging
Your heavy boots thump close near me
As you make your way closer and fall on one knee
You unlatch my gate in which I sit penned up inside all day
I wimper and beg you with my eyes to let me stay
You grab me by my ears and drag me out
This night will be the same as any, no doubt
The look of evil gleams in your beady eyes
you grab me by my mangled fur and I cry out in surprise
Hopefully, I will surivive tonight and live to see tomorrows sunrise.
All I do is love you
But look what you put me through
My mangled fur a tangled mess
living in constant fear and stress
Maybe today you will feed me
Maybe today I wont have to flee
Maybe you will clean my cage
Maybe today you will end your rage
Maybe today will be different, maybe today you will love me back
I stop thinking this as soon as I hear your hard boots come home and make the floor crack
But all I do is love you
This much I know is true
But look, just look, what you put me through
