Gonna Buy Me a Dog — Monkees

By tommy boyce and bobby hart

You know my girl just called me up

And she woke me from my sleep

You should have heard the things she said

You know she hurt my feelings deep.

Im gonna buy me a dog [a dog, a dog! why? ]

cause I need a friend now. [say, you need all the friends you can get]

Im gonna buy me a dog,

My girl, my girl, dont love me no how.

She used to bring me my newspaper

cause she knew where it was at.

She used to keep me so contented.

But I can teach a dog to do that.

Im gonna buy me a dog,

cause I need a friend now

Im gonna buy me a dog,

My girl, my girl, dont love me no how.
