Out from under my bed
Snap their leashes of twine
And set them free again
They're on your case
Like a flash in the pan
That's all you'll ever be
By the time they're done with you
I laugh to see
My heart breaking
I turn away
And close my ears
I can't risk another night
That goes on forever
I can't risk another tear
And this is the last time
I can't bear to listen
To the poor puppy's yowling
I can't bear to see it beaten
Half to death again
I call my baby in
And cuddle him in my arms
I give him little baby treats
And wipe away his tears
I turn to close the window
The wind is still blowing in
I see you gazing at me
From across the garden path
I turn away before you smile
And let the curtains fall
