The Dogs Outside Are Barking

The dogs outside are barking, they're urging us on
Why don't we get to it, before they're all gone
I'm just afraid to tell you what I'm thinking
It might take too long

Maybe your mother would go take a walk
I know that she knows that we need to talk
I'm just afraid to tell you what I'm thinking
You might leave me here

Your father, he's sleepy, it's easy to see
Maybe he'll leave us the watching TV
I'm just afraid to tell you what I'm thinking
It might take too long

Maybe your brother wouldn't mind it if we
Went up to his room, he doesn't know me
I'm just afraid to tell you what I'm thinking
You might leave me here

Maybe your sister'd like it if we cleaned up her room
You with a dustpan, and me with a broom
I'm just afraid to tell you what I'm thinking
You might leave me here

The dogs outside are barking, they're urging us on
Why don't we get to it, before they're all gone
I'm just afraid to tell you what I'm thinking
You might leave me here
