When I first saw you, I couldn't just conceive
Me falling blindy, in my heart believe
I know your older, these facts I can't deny
Deep inside me, a little girl so shy
Pre-chorus
So what did happen, as I start falling out
Different levels, do I have to shout
Chorus
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
Lead vocals: this I will refuse, now you have to loose
Break after chorus
I know what it is
Verse 2
Being rescued, you so me through the pain
On a desert island, you're the only one to chain
When you embraced me, I felt our fears
Of being lonely, in all our tears
Pre-chorus
So what did happen, as I start falling out
Different levels, do I have to shout
Chorus
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
Lead vocals: this I will refuse, now you have to loose
Instrumental bridge with slight overdubbing of vocals in beginning
Music Box bridge
I know who it is but you feel like a stranger, how'd you become the dog in the manger
I know who it is but you feel like a stranger, how'd you become the dog in the manger
I'm no stranger, the dog in the manger
I'm no stranger, the dog in the manger
Verse 3
I was this conman, I was playing only games
Well as I changed you, while burning in my flames
The game is over, game is over, and now you have to go
Feeling shameful, well it was all for show
Pre-chorus
So what did happen, as I start falling out
Different levels, do I have to shout
Chorus
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
Lead vocals: this I will refuse, now you have to loose
Outro chorus
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
I know what it is but it feels like a stranger
How you become, the dog in the manger
Lead vocals: this is the end, no more I will pretend
