When Love Fails
I lost my girl to another guy
She dumped me and didn’t say why
She promised to love me always told me so
What I did wrong I’ll never know
Now I’m all alone with my dog from the pound
He’s the most faithful friend I’ve ever found
He loves me whether I bathe or smell
If I’m happy or sad only he can tell
I can always tell what’s on his mind--------------- {Chorus
By his soulful eyes or his wagging behind
Before you understand a woman’s thoughts
My papa said you’d eat a ton of salt
When love fails you will always find
Comfort in your friend with a wagging behind
My dog shares my cup and bowl
Obeys my commands each time I call
A truer friend I’ll never find
He accepts my faults and doesn’t mind
He greets me each morning with his wagging tail
Fetches my slippers and the daily mail
He tolerates everything I do
He’ll never betray me he’s always true
I can always tell what’s on his mind--------------- {Chorus
By his soulful eyes or his wagging behind
Before you understand a woman’s thoughts
My papa said you’d eat a ton of salt
When love fails you will always find
Comfort in your friend with a wagging behind
Instrumental break 16 Bars
I can always tell what’s on his mind--------------- {Chorus
By his soulful eyes or his wagging behind
Before you understand a woman’s thoughts
My papa said you’d eat a ton of salt
When love fails you will always find
Comfort in your friend with a wagging behind
When love fails you will always find
Comfort in your friend with a wagging behind
