I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
If I made my dog cry like you made me cry yesterday
The neighbors all would go and call the ASPCA

I wouldn't hurt my dog like you hurt me, babe
I wouldn't say those mean old things to him
If I push my little hound the way you push me around
A fighting, biting mean old dog would be, babe
But I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me

I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
At least I've taken out once in a while
I wouldn't pet another dog if he was standing there
I'd hug him and I'd kiss him and I'd let him know I care
I'd give him love and the kindness all the time, babe
And he'd pace me back with loyalty

Though he's just right be, oh, gee
He's got feelings to you see
And I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me, babe
No, I wouldn't treat my dog like you treat me
