Lyrics
People, I can live without them
They don't thrill me like you do
In you I found my life's companion
You're my better half, it's true
Some folks find their peace in prayin'
Others hope to say I do
I was lost until you found me
You're my best friend faithful and true
I love my dog
She's the closest thing I ever found to God
When my life is over
And they ask what's right in my life's catalogue
Like simple truth shining through the fog
I love my dog
People come and people go on
I found love I can rely on
In stormy waters, you're my log
I don't care if it sounds odd
How're you doin'
Thanks for callin'
Don't you worry, 'cause I'm not alone
Bein' friends sounds fine with me
I've got my best friend
Right here at home
