When I was up you would always come 'round But when I needed a friend, oh you could never be found I got a hole where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no The way you treated me The way you treated me
When time was good, oh Lord, all your loving was the same But when the going got rough you hardly knew my name You locked me up and you threw away the key
I wouldn't treat a dog, oh Lord The way you treated me
Got me crying for a love that I needed Begging like a dog for a bone Although I spent all my time pleading You turned your back and you leave
One of these old days, Lord knows, oh yeah it's true Just when you need me the most I'll walk right out on you And you'll say as you're begging down on your bended knees
