You Cannot Call for Love Like a Dog

You cannot ask for love,
It may come,
If you wait,
year after year after year.

Love is the tide it,
Rises and falls,
Strong like the ice but,
Gone with the thaw.
Love is the rain that,
Falls in the night,
Hard in December,
Dry in July.

But I have you now,
By the the throat by the pound,
But I have you now,
Gonna drink you down.

What do you want from love?
Whatdo you need?
Is it something sweet?
To make you feel complete?

Love like a rope can,
Strangle or hold,
Love like the wind won't do what it's told,
Love like the fire that,
Burns on the shore,
Those flames can warm you,
And they can destroy

But I have you now,
By the the throat by the pound,
But I have you now,
By the the throat by the pound
