Ray Stevens Old Dog Lyrics

[Chorus]
I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark
When I look into those puppy dog eyes, you still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new, it's been you from the start
I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark

[Verse 1]
I ain't like those men who wash the grey out of their hair
Wear V-neck shirts and gold chains to look suave and debonair
Searching for some sweet young thing to make 'em feel brand-new
I'm happy as a Bluetick hound just laying around with you
[Chorus]
I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark
And with those big brown puppy dog eyes, you still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new, it's been you from the start
Yeah, I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark

[Verse 2]
And you ain't like those women who go get a nip and tuck
Hoping to disguise the years and find a cute young pup You're still my little Lassie, baby, and I'm still your old Blue
'Cause my tail ain't stopped waggin' since I first laid eyes on you

[Chorus]
I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark
When I look into those puppy dog eyes, you still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new, it's been you from the start
I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark

[Bridge]
Honey, I love being your best friend and that's a fact
And I know you still like running with the leader of the pack

[Chorus]
I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark
And with those big brown puppy dog eyes, you still melt my heart
I'll never need nobody new, it's been you from the start
Yeah, I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark
[Outro]
Oh, I may be an old dog, honey, but you still make me bark
