What the hell is wrong with you have you lost your mind? You know we never go out this late You're making me look stupid and now I'm feeling mad It must have been something you ate I used to love you but now I'm not so sure There's something about your whole attitude I've got this feeling eating straight through my brain All you ever think about is food But you're still my bitch You're still my bitch Every time we go out for a walk in the park You're always barking up the wrong tree Now you just want attention from the opposite sex I know that you're just using me (Using me sometimes) Sometimes when you get angry you show me your teeth But I know your bark is worse than your bite And then when you get hungry it's a whole different deal You act like everything is alright But you're still my bitch You're still my bitch You always try to play those tricks with my mind But bitch I know a trick or two For every time you try to make me loosen your leash You know I'll have to punish you (Punish you) You look at me and throw yourself at me feet Hoping I might pat you on the back (punch you on the nose) But I'm not gonna go there, I won't fall for that Not until you cut me some slack But you're still my But you're still my bitch You're still my bitch But you're still my dog (Bring me those slippers)

When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stones Because sticks and stones they could break your bones The only way to get ahead that made any kind of sense Was to enrich myself at other people's expense I could walk over corpses to make myself a name I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shame People tried to stop me but they didn't understand I wasn't looking for affection or a helping hand To bad you never really understood the way of time I never looked into my mind I always meant to be the element of your crime And don't ask me why Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Don't ask me why I never told the truth cos I believed all my lies I believed that if I made my own alibis I would find a good reason and a better excuse So I could justify my hate and my self abuse I would satisfy myself in any way I could Because I knew that I would always be misunderstood I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgive But all I ever wanted was a life to live To bad you never really understood the way of time I never looked into my mind I got to get yourself back to the sky Don't ask me Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? I just can't disguise your heat Never need to know your beat Don't ask me why Looking back at my life there's a lot I regret I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forget But I didn't know better I was insecure I guess I never took care of my problems before I feel bad about the people that I pushed around I feel bad about the people that I let down I put the blame on myself I can't look the other way Living with my guilt is the price I have to pay Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Don't ask me why Don't ask me why
