Bask In My Love (Treat Me Like A Dog)

Policar, 2003.

Bask in my love, girl, like it's going out of style,
When I scratch you show me how you like the touch,
Shine your happy face on mine and let me see it in your smile,
Lay your eyes on me -- I never felt as much
As when you look into my eyes, like I'm all you'd ever want,
Let time stop in your pause with me for a while...
When you're baskin' in my love, I can't share it fast enough
To keep up with how it's building up inside,
Those are the times when I just hold on for the ride.

Yeah, run off if you want, girl (but don't run off too far,
And come back fast when you hear me call your name...
I love watching you run free, but I know about the cars;
I'm just tryin' to spare both of us some pain)
Yank your rope away from me -- work for it, growl!
(I know you don't mean it, but it's fun to pretend)
Chase me 'round the house, girl, don't let me get away
(but don't catch me 'till you want that game to end).
Let me be in charge, but let me be a friend.

Learn everything you can about this world that isn't yours.
Learn what's safe to play with hard and what's fragile enough to break,
Learn to open (and, please, also learn when not to open) doors.
Let me trust you and I'll give you all the freedom you can take.
Lick my face if you want, sweetie, or my bald spot -- it's OK,
It's just you and me, no company to impress.
I don't even mind you biting at my fingers as we play
(But not hard or it'll leave a bloody mess)
Or just bask in my love, and I'll handle the rest.
