Lyrics: [Verse 1] You came in with “Pet Your Pooch,” tryin’ to be slick Throwin’ Spot’s name out there like you already picked She’s sittin’ here watchin’ with that side-eye stare Like “Mama, this boy talkin’ — does he even care?” [Chorus] You can pet the pooch… but you better go slow She’s the boss around here, and she already knows You wanna get close, you wanna hold me tight? Then two-step me proper underneath this porch light [Verse 2] You said you missed doin’ this, well the feelin’s mutual But Spot’s got standards and her approval’s crucial You dance me right and treat me like a queen She might just let you scratch behind her ears, know what I mean? [Chorus] You can pet the pooch… but you better behave One wrong move and she’ll put you in your place Keep that two-step smooth, keep that smile on your face And maybe — just maybe — you’ll get that hug you crave [Bridge] She’s watchin’ every step, she don’t miss a thing So if you really want this, boy, you better bring The charm and the rhythm and that sweet Texas grin Then we’ll see how the rest of this dance begins [Final Chorus] You can pet the pooch… yeah I think you might If you two-step me sweet all through the night Tease me a little, dance me a lot And that hug you been wantin’? Might be the last dance we got [Tag] Pet the pooch… but you gotta earn it right Texas two-step… under the string lights
