Lyrics

[Chorus]
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gon' feed you no more
[Verse 1]
You told me you was high-class
But I could see through that
Yes, you told me you was high-class
But I could see through that
And daddy, I know
You ain't no real cool cat
[Chorus]
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You're just an old hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gon' feed you no more
Oh, play that thing, boy
[Verse 2]
Ah, listen, that them old hound dog
Lord, play it, it's alright up in here
Now listen to how that that old hound dog howl
Ooh
Ah, play it, boy, play it
Ah, you make me feel good
Ah, do that mess around, I love that way you do
Now wag your tail
Ah, get it
Ah, get it now, get it, get it, get it
Ah, you old hound dog
[Verse 3]
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
Well, you made me weep and moan
'Cause you ain't lookin' for a woman
All you lookin' is for a home
[Chorus]
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Quit snoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Quit snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more, oh!
