(Verse 1) I was runnin' in the yard, the sun was high, Chasin' after Susie, tryin' to catch her eye, She had a ball, it was shiny and bright, She waved it around, said, "Come on, boy, you just might!" But every time I leaped, she pulled it away, I didn’t know if we were still gonna play, I wanted to be good, like I always do, But I got so confused, didn’t know what was true. (Chorus) Now I’m sittin’ in the corner, my tail’s hangin’ low, I didn’t mean to hurt her, oh no, oh no, I just wanted to fetch, be the best dog I could be, But now I see Susie’s cryin’, she’s scared of me. (Verse 2) I remember her laugh, the way she'd smile, We'd run and play together, mile after mile, But when I tried to grab that ball from her hand, I bit too hard, didn’t quite understand. She cried out loud, her tears fell fast, And now I’m here, wonderin’ how long it’ll last, I didn’t want to hurt her, I know I was wrong, Now I’m layin’ here, feelin' sad all along. (Chorus) Now I’m sittin’ in the corner, my tail’s hangin’ low, I didn’t mean to hurt her, oh no, oh no, I just wanted to fetch, be the best dog I could be, But now I see Susie’s cryin’, she’s scared of me. (Bridge) I wish I could tell her I didn’t mean harm, I’d never hurt her, not even an arm, I’m just a pup, tryin’ to learn my way, But I love her, and I’ll wait here all day. (Chorus) Now I’m sittin’ in the corner, my tail’s hangin’ low, I didn’t mean to hurt her, oh no, oh no, I just wanted to fetch, be the best dog I could be, But now I see Susie’s cryin’, she’s scared of me. (Outro) Maybe tomorrow, she’ll forgive me again, We’ll play in the yard, and I’ll be her friend, I’ll learn to be gentle, I’ll do what’s right, For Susie and me, I’ll try with all my might.
