+Alone Again+
I wish that someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.
Why I have to atay chained up and left alone so long.
They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me as a companion and a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me and brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me if I could only stay.
But now the family "hasn't time," they often say I shed.
They do not want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The children never walk me. They always say "not now."
I wish that I could please them. Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love. I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted me, then left me on a chain!
