Johnnie Taylor – Stop Doggin' Me lyrics

Mmmm, hmmm, hmmm.
I'm as lonesome as I can be.
Oh, ohhh, yeah.
Seems like my baby's tryin' to take advantage of me.
I had to tell everybody.

Stop it, baby. (Stop it, baby.)
Stop doggin' me around.
Whoa, oh, oh, please.
Oh, oh, oh. Why don't you stop your doggin'.
Stop doggin' me around.
I can't take no more, baby. You see,

I've been lovin' you, baby, for so doggone long.
You even got me thinkin' I can stand up on my own.
Everybody can see you're takin' advantage of me
And that's doggin', doggin' me around.
(Stop doggin' me around.)
I can't get my feet on the ground. (Doggin' me around.)
That spells D-O-G-G-I-N',
That spells doggin' me around. (Stop doggin' me around.)
I just can't keep my feet on the ground, baby.
(Doggin' me around.) Listen to me.

I've been waitin', baby, for you to straighten up.
It's hard for me to swallow the foolishness from my bitter cup,
'Cause day after day, you keep turnin' away
And that's doggin', doggin' me around.
(Stop doggin' me around.) Oh, oh, oh, doggin'.
(Doggin' me around.)
That spells D-O-G-G-I-N',
Oh, ho, doggin' me around.
You got to stop it, baby.
Here's another thing I don't understand.

I don't know why I keep hangin' around
Buildin' myself up for one more of your let downs.
Lovin' you only when it's plain you don't want me.
How could you do it.
You get the pleasure out of doin' it. I tell you.

Keep on lookin', baby, and one day you'll see
You'll never find the kind of love out in the streets that you had in me.
I keep beggin' for sweetness and you take my kindness for weakness
And that's doggin', oh, ho, doggin' me around.
(Stop doggin' me around.)
Why can't I keep my feet on the ground, baby.
(Doggin' me around.) Oh.
D-O-G-G-I-N'
Oh, ho, doggin' me around. (Stop doggin' me around.)
I can't keep my feet on the ground. (Doggin' me around.)
I'm gonna walk out the door and not come back no more
If you keep doggin', doggin' me around.
(D-O-G-G-I-N')
(Stop doggin' me around.) Whoa, oh, oh, please.
(Doggin' me around.)
Don't you get tired, (D-O-G-G-I-N') tired of doggin' me around.
(Stop doggin' me around.)
