The Holderness Family

Totally Clingy Dog

Turn around
Every time I try to do pilates
You are laying down on me like I am a couch
Turn around
Every time I try to pee and leave the door open
You are looking at me like you need help

Turn around
Every time I leave you you get a little bit angry
And I hear you start to whimper and cry
Turn around
Every time I try to get on the computer
And then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around puppy eyes
For a year we haven't been apart
Turn around puppy eyes

Yeah, soon we're gonna have to be apart
'Cause we're going to work and school
And so we won't be together
When we're gone, what will you do?

This is our doll, please don't behead her
And I just wanna get exercise for a minute of two
You don't like it when we're in another room
You're used to us letting you be on our Zoom

I'm sitting on the couch
You go and sit there
With your butt against me like I am a chair
You really need me tonight
You're gonna crash my Zoom tonight
You're gonna steal my food tonight

Once upon a time I could sit on my couch
Look at all the space that you hog
I don't know what to do
A totally clingy dog

Turn around
Every time I leave the house
You're pawing at the window like the house is on fire
Turn around
Every time I try to get some gardening done
You're standing on the side of my head

Turn around
Every time I try to take a bath
You're worried that the tub is gonna eat me alive
Turn around
Every time I try to do a pushup
You think I'm being attacked by an invisible guy

Turn around puppy eyes
Why are you always on my head?
Turn around puppy eyes
Seriously
You're always up there on my head
And it's totally our fault

I take you everywhere we're going
I let you play board games with us
And I dress you up in clothing
And I pet oy all day and all night
And you won't let me stop
Now that we are leaving
What are you gonna do?

We won't be there to watch you chew on my shoes
You really need me tonight
You won't let me cook tonight
I can't read my book tonight

Once upon a time we would give you some snacks
What will happen when we are gone?
There's nothing I can do
