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.

If 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 souls' 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.

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
