Shouldve Had Dogs - Roger Whittaker

作词：Roger Whittaker

作曲：Roger Whittaker

If I'd known about an

Angry wife with a two by four

If I'd only listened when you

Told me about a mother in law

If I'd known how much things

Change when you say

I do

Well I wouldn't have

Done what I did I'm telling you

I would've had dogs

I would've had dogs

If I'd known then what I know now

Well I would've had dogs

I was led by the nose like

A bull from the very start

And I must say I really

Enjoyed the beginning part

You know your favorite food

And the bed and the lights now low

But then the kids come

Along and romance has to go

Well I should've had dogs

Oh I should've had dogs

If I'd known then what I know now

Well I would've had dogs

Suddenly they seem to

Arrive in two's and three's

Any ordinary man would be

Brought to his knees

She says Daddy can I

Have that dress and I want that hat

How can any daddy tell her

No when she asks like that

Oh I should've had dogs

Oh I should've had dogs

If I'd known then what I know now

Well I would've had dogs

Now my eldest son has survived till 17

And I'm the stupidest man

That the world has ever seen

I'm wrong about everything

In his young life

And the endless thing

I'm wrong about lead to strife

Oh I should've had dogs

Oh I should've had dogs

If I'd known then what I know now

Well I would've had dogs

It's said that trial

And tribulation ends

And they all grow up

And you all get to be friends

I can't wait for the day

I know will come to pass

When they have kids of

Their own and I can laugh

Oh you should've had dogs

Oh you should've had dogs

If you'd known then what I know now

Well you would've had dogs

Oh you should've had dogs

Oh you should've had dogs

If they put you what you put me through

Well you wish you'd had dogs
