  • Daisy, you
    Shouldn't do the things you do
    But you're just so incapable of changing
    You lie so well
    I could never even tell
    What were facts in your artful rearranging

    But I came back for more
    And you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in
    'Cause I'm a Labrador
    And I run when the gun drops the dove again

    When we first met, I was glad to be your pet
    Like a Lab I once had that we called Maisie
    But fetching sticks
    Was the best I had for tricks
    You got bored, you got mad, then you got crazy

    But I came back for more
    And you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in
    'Cause I'm a Labrador
    And I run when the gun drops the dove again

    Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer
    Daisy, Daisy, do
    Remember good old Maisie
    How she waited at the stairs for you?

    Daisy, dear, I could almost shed a tear
    But let's shine, in the time we have remaining
    You're a tough old gal, but a dog is just a pal
    And believe me, my dear, I'm not complaining

    'Cause I came back for more
    'Cause I knew even you did the best you could
    I'm a Labrador
    And with me, you could see
    It was understood
    That I'd come back for more
    Daisy, Daisy, do
    'Cause I'm a Labrador
    Yeah, I'd come back for more
    The loyal Labrador
    Do, do, do, do, do, do Writer/s: Aimee Mann
