Chris Cornell - Call Me a Dog

You call me a dog, well, that's fair enough
There ain't no use to pretend you're wrong
When you call me out, I cant hide anymore
I have no disguise you can't see through

You swear it's bad luck to have fallen for me
What can I do to make it good for you?
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
Yeah, when you call me a dog

You tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers and the wolves

You threw me out 'cause I went digging for gold
I came home with a hand of coal

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful or leave it alone, yeah

You call me a dog
That's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
The bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and you drag me along
Drag me along
Hey, hey, hey

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all

And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
I'll leave it alone, yeah, yeah
So you call me dog
