You were born for chasing
every fluffy flirting thing
Fur is flying everywhere, the bloody mess you bring
Thrill captures your attention; risk makes you sing
Your head held high, you lick your lips and fancy yourself king
Just like a terrier, cuts
and bruises everywhere
There’s wildness in your heart
Oh my terrier, cuts and bruises everywhere
This love rips me apart
A movement catches your
quick eye, you disappear like that
You follow this enduring scent – I will you to come back
Win or lose you carry on, your pride will not abash
The fire inside you rages till it finally turns to ash
Just like a terrier, cuts
and bruises everywhere
There’s wildness in your heart
Oh my terrier, cuts and bruises everywhere
This love rips me apart
Funny old dog, you’re
an angel in the home
With your wagging tail, you merrily chew the same old bone
Ridiculous dog, refusing to let go
And pretending not to understand when I say ‘no’
But when you’re out of sight, where will you roam?
Do you really love me? Then why don’t you pick up the phone?
Come on home...come on home...
Just like a terrier, cuts
and bruises everywhere
There’s wildness in your heart
Oh my terrier, cuts and bruises everywhere
This love rips me apart
Oh my terrier, cuts and bruises everywhere
There’s wildness in your heart
Just like a terrier, cuts and bruises everywhere
This love rips me apart
