The video for “Labrador” recreates the 1985 video for “Voices Carry”, which won Mann’s old band Til Tuesday the MTV award for Best New Artist in a video.
Both songs portray a woman being mistreated in a one-sided relationship.
[Verse 1]
Daisy, you
Shouldn't do the things you do
But you're just so incapable of changing
You lie so well
I could never even tell
What were facts in your artful rearranging
[Chorus]
But I came back for more
And you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in
Cause I'm a Labrador
And I run
When the gun
Drops the dove again
[Verse 2]
When we first met
I was glad to be your pet
Like a Lab I once had that we called Maisie
But fetching sticks
Was the best I had for tricks
You got bored
You got mad, then you got crazy
[Chorus]
But I came back for more
And you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in
'Cause I'm a Labrador
And I run
When the gun
Drops the dove again
[Bridge]
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer
Daisy, Daisy, do
Remember good old Maisie, how she waited at the stairs for you
[Verse 3]
Daisy, dear
I could almost shed a tear
But let's shine in the time we have remaining
You're a tough old gal
But a dog is just a pal
And believe me, my dear
I'm not complaining
[Chorus]
'Cause I came back for more
'Cause I knew even you did the best you could
And I'm a Labrador
And with me, you could see it was understood
That I'd come back for more
Daisy, Daisy do
'Cause I'm a Labrador
I'd come back for more
The loyal Labrador
