What did I do to deserve this?
I don't know what I did to deserve this
Why did they tether me with a chain
I don't know what I did to deserve this
Because I did nothing to be blamed
I don't know what I did to deserve this
Why must my life be filled with this pain?
I watch my family as they come and
go
They ignore and forget me so
I watch as other dogs go on walks without me
But all I can do is sit and stare
sadly I watch as life slowly passes me by
And hope for one of my own before I die
I don't know what I did to deserve this
Please tell me what I did wrong?
You leave me out in the hot,
scorching sun
Sometimes without even a cold drink
You leave me out where the flies torment me
They're drawn to the horrible stink
You leave me out during cold winter days
But the nights are worst in so many ways
I don't know what I did to deserve this
Don't you think I'm a good boy?
I just want to be a part of the
family
Is that too much to ask
I need your love and attention
And to be able to love you back
I want your house to be my home too
Because I really need to spend time with you
I don't know what I did to deserve this Don't you
know I love you so?
If you can't rid me of the chains
that I bear
Because of your situation you cannot dare
Then I ask you to do the just and right thing for me
Please do all you can to set me free
Please find me a new home with a loving family
One that will love me unconditionally
There are people willing help, if you don't know
what to do
So you have no excuse to not see this through
I don't know what I did to deserve this. Do You?

I wish someone would tell me
what it is that I've done wrong.
Why I have to stay chained up
and left alone so long.
They seemed so glad to have me
when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do
while I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me
as a companion and a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear
being left alone again.
The children said they would feed me
and brush me everyday.
They said they would play with me
and walk me, if I could only stay.
But now the people haven't time,
they often say I shed.
They do not even want me in the house,
not even to be fed.
The children never walk me
they always say, "NOT NOW!"
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love.
I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted me
THEN LEFT ME ON A CHAIN? |
