Love and Theft

I know you don't want me now
But I love you anyhow
All the years that came and went
All the money on you I spent
Don't waste your time on her, my friends said
But I can't really count on them
I'll say it now, I'll make it clear
It's a burden I can't bear
I'm your dog, but you don't care
I'm your dog, but you don't care

I saw you on the street one day
You told me to stay away
I just wanted to talk with you
You said no, then I felt blue
But I can't quit you, I can't be blamed
That my old heart just is this way
I'll say it now, I'll make it clear
It's a burden I can't bear
I'm your dog, but you don't care

I went into the jewelry store
Stole a necklace, nothing more
I put it in my ragged coat
Supposed to give it to you, but I got caught
And now I'm sitting here in jail
I broke the law, I feel ashamed
On the wall I write your name
It's a burden I can't bear
I'm your dog, but you don't care
I'm your dog, but you don't care
