Call Off Your Dogs

[Verse 1]
Hello
I’m not gonna bite you
I just want a light, you
Got me wishing that I’d never said
Hello
I don’t want to fight you
I don’t got a right to

[Pre-Chorus]
This is what I get for being civilized
I apologize, and I’ll let you go in a minute
If you want it, goodbye
Is not what I want to say
You took my salutations
And threw 'em away

[Chorus]
Call off your dogs
Listen when I call
I know there’s something wrong with the limits
We got turned around but we can spin it

Call off your dogs
What’s with the walls?
If we’re strong, we can win it
One word can begin it:
Hello

[Verse 2]
I got a right to call you baby
I got a right to say hello
Remember when you used to like me, baby?
And it wasn’t that long ago

[Pre-Chorus]
This is what I get for being civilized
I apologize, and I’ll let you go in a minute
If you want it, goodbye
Is not what I want to say
You took my salutations
And you threw 'em away

[Chorus]
Call off your dogs
Listen when I call
I know there’s something wrong with the limits
We got turned around, but we can spin it
Call off your dogs
Oh, what’s with the walls?
If we’re strong we can win it
One word can begin it:
Hello
