Love and Theft Lyrics

I know you don't want me now

But I love you anyhow

All the years that came and went

All the money on you I spent

Don't waste your time on her, my friends said

But I can't really count on them

I'll say it now, I'll make it clear

It's a burden I can't bear

I'm your dog, but you don't care

I'm your dog, but you don't care

I saw you on the street one day

You told me to stay away

I just wanted to talk with you

You said no, then I felt blue

But I can't quit you, I can't be blamed

That my old heart just is this way

I'll say it now, I'll make it clear

It's a burden I can't bear

I'm your dog, but you don't care

I went into the jewelry store

Stole a necklace, nothing more

I put it in my ragged coat

Supposed to give it to you, but I got caught

And now I'm sitting here in jail

I broke the law, I feel ashamed

On the wall I write your name

It's a burden I can't bear

I'm your dog, but you don't care

I'm your dog, but you don't care
