[Spoken Intro] Dog dopamine beats a glowing screen. Free oxytocin, no monthly fee. [Verse 1] You come home carrying the day in your jaw, I set down my phone; you nudge at the door. One warm head leaning against my knee, A small, unbilled moment that gets through to me. [Pre-Chorus] Dope, dope, dopamine—what does it mean? A little reward saying, “Look, you’re seen.” Not every good feeling comes out of a feed; Sometimes a leash and a walk are what you need. [Chorus] Dog dopamine, better than digital dopamine, Free oxytocin with every pet, easy and clean. Dope, dope, dopamine—what does it mean? Makes me feel seen, gets me back on my feet. [Verse 2] Put some care in the ordinary things: A bowl filled up, a walk around the block, A ball brought back, a minute to stop. Sources can vary, results may vary—sure, But a living friend is not an endless scroll. [Pre-Chorus] Dope, dope, dopamine—say it again, A signal, not a score, not a measure of worth. If you don’t feel accomplished, don’t chase every ping; Take a breath, find a kinder small thing. [Chorus] Dog dopamine, better than digital dopamine, Free oxytocin with every pet, easy and clean. Dope, dope, dopamine—what does it mean? Makes me feel seen, gets me back on my feet. [Bridge] No guarantee printed on the packet. No perfect mood you can buy by the habit. Let the good feeling visit; don’t hand it the keys. You’re more than the next little hit you can seize. [Final Chorus] Dog dopamine, better than digital dopamine, Free oxytocin with every pet, easy and clean. Dope, dope, dopamine—now I can see: A living connection is plenty for me. [Outro] One slow walk. One soft nose. Phone down. Here we go.
