Just a Dog
Fling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just a dog
Fetch as you throw me
A little of your love
Taking control
Am I all that you've got
And all that you know

Well maybe I'm a man
Tiny bit foolish
With little to no plan
So c'mon place me in the palm of your hand and take me wherever you go

Just don't put me down

Why am I so lost
I've got your love but I wanna cut it off
And I've got your trust but I need to shake it off
Cause you got me yeah all for yourself

Just don't put me down

Cause I'm just a dog
I'm just a puppy dog
Oh I'm just a dog
Im just a puppy dog




Yeah I'm just a dog
Please don't put me put me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fling's song "Just a Dog" may seem simple at first glance, but they are actually quite profound. The song is essentially about love and how it can make someone feel both powerful and powerless at the same time. The first stanza depicts the singer as a dog, being thrown and controlled by the object of their affection. They wonder if they are the only one their lover has, and if they are all they know.


The second stanza takes a sudden turn as the singer questions their feelings. They claim to have their lover's love and trust, but they want to cut it off and shake it off. This may suggest a fear of vulnerability and a desire for independence. However, they also admit that their lover has them all to themselves, implying that they are willing to give up that independence for the sake of love.


The repetition of the line "just don't put me down" emphasizes the singer's fear of being rejected or abandoned, and the repetition of "I'm just a dog" highlights their perceived powerlessness. Overall, the song is a reflective and introspective exploration of love and its complexities.
