Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, one, two
[Verse 1]
Why you bite my head off?
Why you bite my head off?
Why you get so pissed off?
Why you bite my head off now?
Why you bite my head off?
Acting such a jerk-off?
Why you have to mouth off?
I got the world to worry about
[Chorus]
If I was a dog, you would kick me down
I was spending the night howling 'round your house
I ain't on a leash, I ain't on a chain
You think I'm your bitch, I'm fucking with your brain
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Why you bite my head off?
[Verse 3]
Life can be a riot
I can be the pilot
Provided that it's private
I got the world to worry about
C'mon
Now you got me thinking
Started to stop drinking
The whole fucking ship is sinking, sinking
I'm looking for a quick way out
[Chorus]
Well, I'm hearing the bark, I'm hearing the bite
I'm feeling the shark, and I gotta hide
I ain't on a leash, I ain't on a chain
You think I'm your bitch, I'm fucking with your brain
[Bridge]
C'mon, yeah, Darryl
Yeah, go on
Come on
Alright, Ronnie
[Chorus]
Why you bite my head off?
Act like you are red hot
Acting like a despot
I'm looking for a way out
Why you bite my head off?
Why you rip the bed up?
Why you wanna bunk off?
Who's looking for a way-ay out?
[Outro]
C'mon
Come on
Whoa yeah
