Lirik lagu Aerosmith - The Reason a Dog dan Terjemahan
Lagu ini berpusat pada gagasan tentang kesalahpahaman atau penilaian yang salah, menggunakan frasa "the reason a dog" untuk mengeksplorasi perasaan kebingungan, kesetiaan, dan kompleksitas emosional dalam hubungan. Lagu ini menonjol karena sifatnya yang ceria dan permainan kata yang jenaka. Secara musikal, lagu ini memadukan ritme yang menarik dan ceria dengan riff gitar khas Aerosmith dan vokal Steven Tyler yang energik dan khas. "The Reason a Dog" adalah permata yang menyenangkan dan kurang dikenal dari Done with Mirrors, yang menunjukkan kemampuan band untuk memadukan humor dengan gaya rock yang angkuh.
Lirik Terjemahan
You keep a knocking but you can't come in
The way you love I adore
You always come never know where you been
But a, now I'm here baby to even the score
You're up, you're down
You're always running in place
Triathlon if you please
You're always begging me for a taste
But ain't up to snuff if you sneeze
Yak, yak, yak
Lord you give me the bends
Your head's in jail
I'll call out the law
Like the reason a dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue
Your older sister
She's a lot like you
She likes to grab my microphone
Now there ain't too much she won't do
Especially when we're all alone
You're up, you're down
You're always running in place
Triathlon if you please
Her mind's on rewind and erase
But you might get shot, babe
When you're shooting the breeze
Yak, yak, yak
Lord you give me the bends
Your heads in jail
I'll call out the law
That the reason a dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
That the reason a dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
Your older sister
She's a lot like you
And there ain't too much that she won't do
Ooh ooh who who who whooo
Ooh ooh who who who whooo
There always something that you got to say
I lose my mind and then I surely fade away, yeah
Yak, yak, yak
Lord you give me the bends
You're heads in jail
Now look what you done
That the reason a dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
That the reason a dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue
That the reason a dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue...arf
