Perfect Love Gone Wrong

I've been pondering a question for a while now
I won't be obedient for one good reason
It must be a crime

This doghouse was never meant for me
Being second best isn't in my blood
I was content with just us two
Until this alpha male
Showed up in the January sale

He won't love you
Like I love you
It won't be long before that puppy strays
And what I like most about this guy?
He'd be my favorite lamppost
Devil take the hindmost

I know it's tough, but we have to adapt, you see
I neglected the essential for too long, believe me
I'm aware, I see you're suffering, but it will ease
Because it's a man more than a dog that I need by my side
Stop growling, my choice is made, that's how it is
Don't overdo it, your attitude might push me away
You need to understand, since you claim to love me so much
Now we're three, him, you, and me

It's a messy kind of story
Would I lie to you?
But when the cat's away, the mouse will play
I won't gossip around here
There's something suspicious around here

I howl all night and sleep all day
It takes more than a treat to chase these blues away
I have enough leash to almost hang myself
It's tough loving you, baby
When you love someone else
Now he's taken my spot
I'd like to put him in a coffin
I'll wear my best collar to his funeral

I wish your stubbornness would stop
Leaving you, today it's on my mind
I can't take it anymore, you're just a dog, it's too silly
The situation seemed crystal clear
It's true, I love him, your selfishness worries me
After all those nights spent alone, just us two
Everything has an end, and it's the end of the party
For you, because soon it will be just him and me, him and me

To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well, there can't be anything worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong

You said I wasn't just a toy for Christmas
I would always be your boy
Your loyal companion
And I would stand by you through thick and thin
Don't need anybody else
And we don't need him
