From the recording Money to Burn
Lyrics
Once upon a time
I thought that you were mine
I pampered you, my pet
But you wanted to run free
So you ran away from me
Now this is what you get!
CHORUS:
She’s got you on a real short leash now
Don’t you agree?
She’s got you on a real short leash now
You can’t run to me!
Oh, you thought you were top dog once
Thought you’d always get your wa-a-a-ay
Now you’re howling at the moon at midnight
But you’ll never stray.
BRIDGE:
Now sit! Now stay!
Now come here! Now go away!
Now fetch! Again!
Perhaps you’ll get a treat
But you don’t know when.
Do ya?
Once upon a time
You had it oh so fine
How quickly you forget!
But you thought your pedigree
Was much too good for me
You only want what you can’t get.
CHORUS:
She’s got you on a real short leash now
Don’t you agree?
She’s got you on a real short leash now
You can’t run to me!
Oh, you thought you were top dog once
Thought you’d always get your wa-a-a-ay
Now you’re howling at the moon at midnight
Perhaps you like it that way?
BRIDGE 2:
Now speak! Now stay!
Now lie down! Now go away!
Now jump! Now heel!
Now tell me baby, how does it feel?
She’s got you on a real short leash now
She’s got you on a real short leash now
She’s got you on a real short leash now
How does it feel?
