Lyrics
THAT DOG WON?T HUNT
by Lew Bridgewater
Country Rock
VERSE 1
Come on baby we got places to go
Don?t you give me no look like you don?t know
Well, there?s things to do and people to see
Good times to be had by you and me
You know that you like me, you know I like you
So don?t you pretend you got better things to do
That dog won?t hunt
But this dog will
VERSE 2
Well, I heard all your lines and I ain?t buyin? in
The excuses you make, girl, I think it?s a sin
The day?s gonna come when you want me around
That?ll be the day when I can?t be found
You know that you want me, I know that you do
Now don?t try to tell me what you know ain?t true
That dog won?t hunt
But this dog will
CHORUS.1
Well, that dog won?t hunt
But this dog will
If you don?t go with me
There?s one or two girls will
Don?t try to tell me that you wanna be alone
Come on, honey? throw the dog a bone
CHORUS 2
That dog won?t hunt
But this dog will
You should know by now
That you give me a thrill
Are you gonna sit there ?til you?re old and gray?
Will you keep saying no until you chase me away?
VERSE 3
Men are like hound dogs sniffin? around
But when we find the right one we wanna settle down
I?m thinkin? that you could help me scratch my itch
That?s why I keep comin? here makin? my pitch
I?ll show you a good time, you know that I will
Don?t you try to say you got no time to kill
That dog won?t hunt
But this dog will
That dog won?t hunt
This one will, baby
That dog won?t hunt?
?owwwww (howls?fade out?)
