The Football Club - If You Stop Feeding That Black Dog, Maybe It Won't Come Back lyrics

[Verse 1] That black dog that waits at your back door You leave scraps it keeps coming back for If you stop feeding that black dog Maybe it won't come back no more You risk your life to make sure that it's safe You let it sleep in the bows of your ribcage If you stop feeding that black dog Maybe it won't come back again I know it's hard to go it alone But my love, you're in [?] They're gonna eat you alive here and sell [Verse 2] When it comes and hangs around your feet And brings you dead things it's found on the street You'd better stop feeding that black dog Or you might be next, baby I was once glad just to be around you But you've not been the same since it found you If you stop feeding that black dog Maybe mine won't come around too [Verse 3] I know you miss all the love it brought But it's not worth the trouble it caused You're better off lonely because That black dog that waits at your back door You leave scraps it keeps coming back for If you stop feeding that black dog Maybe it won't come back no more If you stop feeding that black dog Maybe it won't come back no more
