Sleeping Dog Lyrics by Pete Townshend

Sleeping Dog

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.

If 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 souls' 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.
All I can do is love you,
and that is what I do
