{ I Should´ve Had Dogs }

Suddenly they seem to arrive in two´s and three´s
Any ordinary man would be brought down to his knees
She says daddy can I have that dress and I want that hat
How can any daddy tell her no when she asks like that?

Oh I should´ve had dogs
Oh I should´ve had dogs
If I´d known then what I know now
Well I would´ve had dogs

Now my eldest son has survived to seventeen
And I´m the stupidest man that the world has ever seen
I´m wrong about everything in his young life
And the endless things I´m wrong about lead to strife

Oh I should´ve had dogs
Oh I should´ve had dogs
If I´d known then what I know now
Well I would´ve had dogs

It´s said that trial and tribulation ends
And they all grow up and you all get to be friends
I can´t wait for the day I know will come to pass
When they have kids of their own and I can laugh, ha, ha, ha, ha

Oh you should´ve had dogs
Oh you should´ve had dogs
If you´d know then what I know now
Well you would´ve had dogs

Oh you should´ve had dogs
Oh you should´ve had dogs
If they put you what you put me through
Well you´d wish you´d had dogs
