If You Stop Feeding That Black Dog Maybe It Wont Come Back
The Football Club
Letra

[Verse 1]

                                 
That black dog that waits at your back door

                               
You leave scraps it keeps coming back for

                               
If you stop feeding that black dog

                         
Maybe it won t come back no more

                                        
You risk your life to make sure that it s safe

                                   
You let it sleep in the bows of your ribcage

                               
If you stop feeding that black dog

                       
Maybe it won t come back again

                          
I know it s hard to go it alone

                            
But my love, you re a {bag of bones?]

                                     
They re gonna eat you alive here and sell


[Verse 2]
                               
When it comes and hangs around your feet

                                       
And brings you dead things it s found on the street

                                     
You d better stop feeding that black dog

                        
Or you might be next, baby

                            
I was once glad just to be around you

                                    
But you ve not been the same since it found you

                               
If you stop feeding that black dog

                              
Maybe mine won t come around too


[Verse 3]
                                
I know you miss all the love it brought

                                
But it s not worth the trouble it caused

                         
You re better off lonely because

                                  
That black dog that waits at your back door

                               
You leave scraps it keeps coming back for

                             
If you stop feeding that black dog

                          
Maybe it won t come back no more

                              
If you stop feeding that black dog

                            
Maybe it won t come back no more
