Stop Doggin' Me - Johnnie Taylor

Mmmm, hmmm, mmmm

I’m as lonesome as I can be

Oh, oh, oh, yeah

Seems like my baby’s tryin' to take advantage of me

I had to tell everybody

Stop it, baby.

(Stop it, baby.)

Stop doggin' me around.

Whoa, oh, please

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, why don’t you stop your doggin'

Stop doggin' me around

I can’t take no more, baby.

You see

I’ve been lovin' you, baby, for so doggone long

You even got me thinkin' I could stand up on my own

Everybody can see you’re takin' advantage of me

And that’s doggin', doggin' me around

(Stop doggin' me around.)

I can’t keep my feet on the ground.

(Doggin' me around.)

That spells D-O-G-G-I-N'

That spells doggin' me around.

(Stop doggin' me around.)

I just can’t keep my feet on the ground, baby

(Doggin' me around.) Listen to me

I’ve been waitin', baby, for you to straighten up

It’s hard for me to swallow the foolishness from my bitter cup

'Cause day after day, you keep turnin' away

And that’s doggin', doggin' me around

(Stop doggin' me around.)

Oh, oh, oh, that’s doggin'.

(Doggin' me around.)

That spells D-O-G-G-I-N'

Oh, oh, doggin' me around

You got to stop it, baby

Here’s another thing I don’t understand

I don’t know why I keep hangin' around

Buildin' myself up for one more of your let downs

Lovin' you only when it’s plain you don’t want me

How could you do it

You get the pleasure out of doin' it.

I tell you

Keep on lookin', baby, and one day you’ll see

You’ll never find the kind of love out in the streets that you had in me

I keep beggin' for sweetness and you take my kindness for weakness

And that’s doggin', oh, oh, doggin' me around

(Stop doggin' me around.)

Why can’t I keep my feet on the ground, baby

(Doggin' me around.) Oh, oh

Oh, oh, doggin' me around.

(Stop doggin' me around.)

I can’t keep my feet on the ground.

(Doggin' me around.)

I’m gonna walk out the door, I won’t come back no more

If you keep doggin', doggin' me around

(Stop doggin' me around.) Whoa, oh, please

(Doggin' me around.)

Don’t you get tired, (D-O-G-G-I-N')

Tired of doggin' me around.

(Stop doggin' me around.)
