| Times Like This (Lucky Stiff) Now my idea of company would be A friendly face, the kind of face that melts you with a grin. The kind of eyes that welcome you the minute you walk in, A tender glance you simply can't refuse At times like this a girl could use a dog. He'd listen when you tell him things There's nothing you can't say And unlike certain people, you can teach him how to stay And if the world is giving you the blues He cheers you up by chewing up the news It's things like that that make you choose a dog Other people need romance, dancing, playing around, Other people need hours of fun, well I'm not one! I have my feet on the ground! Give me a quiet night, a stack of books, a tuna melt on rye A simple walk together underneath the starry sky And suddenly the night is something rare And all because there's someone special there Who's gazing at the views His head upon your shoes At times like this, I sure could use a dog. |
