I was your little dog's bone
 But now you've made it without me
 You know all about me
 And that's all right

 You cry
 The whole night long
 I try
 Love's right and wrong
 And now the sun's sleepin' through
 And it's down on you, too
 It's just not fair

 Now what is right is right
 And what's done's done
 But before you come 'round my door, woman
 Gonna see where you're comin' from
 Better count up your change
 And put a smile on your mind
 Before you want away for any more of my time
 I couldn't have loved you better
 I could have loved you worse
 I know what comes last baby
 And you've known it from the first

 I was your steppin' stone
 I was your little dog's bone
 But now you've made it without me
 You know all about me
 And that's all right
