Verse 1
I can’t believe you just said
He can’t be sleeping in my bed
Why can’t you get it through your head
He’s simply my best friend
You’re fixing to tell your truth
The time has come for me to choose
Which one I’m willing to lose
It’s either him or you
Chorus
If you want to force the issue
You better grab a tissue
This isn’t gonna go your way
All week long and twice on Sunday
Without a second thought
I, I, I choose the dog
I choose the dog
Verse 2
You think he sits too close
That his slobbery kisses are gross
But you might want to take notes
On why I love him the most
Unlike you, he’s never too busy
He doesn’t care when I don’t look pretty
He’s always happy just to be with me
What part of that is so hard to see
Chorus
If you don’t want to get on board
You’re the one out the door
There’s nothing left to say
All week long and twice on Sunday
Without a second thought
I, I, I choose the dog
I choose the dog
Bridge
You really didn’t think this through
When I ask who’s a good boy
I’m not talking to you
Chorus
If you think you’re the alpha here
Let me make it crystal clear
This isn’t gonna end your way
All week long and twice on Sunday
Without a second thought
I, I, I choose the dog
I choose the dog
I choose the dog
[spoken word]
YOU’re sleeping in the doghouse
