Pete Townshend - Sleeping Dog [*] lyrics

Sleeping dog by the open fire

You're sleeping your life away

You don't know how far you've got to go

Or the trouble that you'll have to face

Yet all I can do is love you

Provide you with some fun and food

All I can do is love you

And that is what I do

Sleeping children laying in your beds

Tomorrow you'll be back at school

You look so young but you've come so far

You'll never be any soul's fool

All I can do is love you

Provide you with some fun and food

All I can do is love you

And that is what I do

(instrumental verse)

All I can do is love you

Provide you with some fun and food

All I can do is love you

And that is what I do

Now I'm going up to my wife

Baba I pray to you

Love me just a little like I love them

And I can do some sleeping too

All I can do is love you

Provide you with a song

All I can do is love you

Like you've been loving me all along

All I can do is love you

Provide you with a verse or two

All I can do is love you

And that is what I do
