Lyrics Pete Townshend – Sleeping Dog
Text:
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
Yet 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 soul’s 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
And that is what I do
