You Lie Down With Dogs

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

You're such a cool woman but I love you

Such a cruel woman but I love you

Open up your eyes and realise

You're such a fool woman but I love you

But give me all that you've got to give

Cause it sure feels good to me


I'm not your only man I'm just a lover

Not your only man just another

Open up your eyes and realise

I'm gonna take what I can like any other

I'll say any damn thing that you want me to

Cause it don't mean a thing to me


Well

You lie down with dogs, you fall in with thieves

You're gonna catch something but you do as you please

You're scratchin' an itch that nothing can ease

You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas


Get out and find yourself another lover

Why don't you find yourself another lover

Open up your eyes and realise

You don't mean nothing to me I'm not your mother

You gave me all that you had to give

But there's a whole lotta fish in the sea


Well

You lie down with dogs, you fall in with thieves

You're gonna catch something but you do as you please

You're scratchin' an itch that nothing can ease

You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas
