If you only hadn't given me up And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) (Only hadn't given me up, me up) Run if you like All of the things that you left behind Hold me down You can't deny and I can't deny Open your eyes

Two footprints, your footprints in the sand Lord knows you can't trust your head Thought you'd abandoned me and Let go of my hand But you were carrying me Carrying me to safety Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh When you're standing

The dog days are over The dog days are done 'Cause here they come Can you hear the horses Run for your children for your sisters and brothers Can't carry it with you if you want to survive Happiness, hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her,

Take me through this darkness Carry me through this world Insane and lost confusion Forever always pushing for more No, you can't cry Oh, you can't cry When you're too tough to die This grave which bares my soul This grave which bares my name

The dog days are over The dog days are done 'Cause here they come Can you hear the horses Run for your children for your sisters and brothers Can't carry it with you if you want to survive Happiness, hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her,

We'll spend forever unhappily married Hey hey, it's alright Everybody fusses, everybody fights With all of the baggage you and me carry Must be mistaking me with the maid we don't have Can't even wash your whiskey out your glass I gave you no loving in a
