| 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.) |
