Maybe love is like a stray dog Maybe love is like a stray dog You don't wanna pick it up and put it in your car But you can't just let it starve Maybe love makes a mess Maybe love makes a mess You've got a white carpet And it's got muddy paw prints Maybe love keeps you up all night Maybe love keeps you up all night With it's barking and crying and whining But it's alright Maybe love steals your good sense Maybe love steals your good sense A little bit crazy, a little in love There ain't no difference Maybe love gives you back your tenderness Maybe love gives you back your tenderness When you love real hard You ain't nothing but softness Maybe love is like a stray dog Maybe love is like a stray dog It don't belong to you But you still give it all you got It don't belong to you But you still give it your whole heart It don't belong to you But you can still give it all you got
