Pet (Helena's Lament)


Oh yes, I know that you're not interested, I see


And I should let you go your way, that would be most mature of me


But I've thought for oh so long and had the best idea yet


That you and I would get along if you would let me be your pet...


Chorus:


I'd be the kind to follow everywhere


You'd run your fingers through my hair


Hold me close when you've had a fright


And let me in your bed when it's cold at night


You'd rub me real nice behind my ears


And sing me songs after you've had a couple beers


Give me treats when I've done something right


And let me in your bed when it's cold at night



Oh yes, and if my offer smacks of servitude


I only need remind you true love's course has yet to run real smooth


So now if you will let me near you all the night and day


Well, you will on your own see I do plenty more than sit or stay...



Chorus



Oh yes, and you could ask me where's my sense of pride


And I would tell you I've not had one since I met you last July


So now you see that it is rather foolish to give up 


All of the perks and all the benefits if I were your spaniel pup...




You'd rub me real nice behind my ears


And sing me songs after you've had a couple beers


Give me treats when I've done something right


And let me in your bed, would you let me in your bed, if you'd let me in your bed when it's cold at night...
