Hair of the Dog

Danny Kortchmar


You used to think I was a man of steel 
I let you down - I'm a man for real
And if you call me when it's three a.m.
You say "Come meet me  
where the fools rush in"

Don't you know, don't you know it shows 
And it's bound to hit cha
Tho' you been burned you still ain't learned
Not to force what just don't fit cha 
What you're asking for is a little bit more
Of the hair of the dog that bit cha

You tried to cast me in the hero's role
The guy before me must have broke the mold
You're just so perfect as the heroine
I guess I'll meet cha where the fools rush in

Don't you know, don't you know it shows 
And it's bound to hit cha
Tho' you been burned you still ain't learned
Not to force what just don't fit cha 
What you're asking for is a little bit more
Of the hair of the dog that bit cha
