Listen to me Do you know how much you want it? You're trying to be cool about it You're trying to big about it You're constantly just denying You're like a moth to a flame You hardly wane But listen 'cause I know what I'm saying He's trying to catch you in it And then he'll back you in it 'Cause he's just another girl addict And if you give it away You've gotta be crazy...crazy [Chorus:] Stop! You better shake him off Before he gets ya (He's coming to getcha, he's coming to getcha) Stop! He'll only build you up And then he'll getcha He's dirty to the bone - beware of the dog! I was damn near addicted I got into trouble with him, I got in the bubble with him Everything was just how he wanted Oh but then I got wise I got out of sight So take my advice [Chorus: Repeat 2X] I know you hear me I know you hear me - I know you hear me! Arr! Arr! You better reach out and touch me! (Reach out and touch me) [Chorus: Repeat 4X] Beware of the dog... Beware of the dog... Beware of the dog...
