Marlon Feat. Rex Dog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really got a hold on me
Just let me keep a piece of me
Go ahead take the rest of me
You are my best friend
You are my worst of enemies
You are my lover
And all this time both of us were wrong
And I just blamed myself
You break me down till I got nothing else
I can't lie to myself
Tell me are we only casualties spinning out of love
So no more, no more
Help me tear us from this tragedy
I don't wanna lose our love
So come on, come on
At times I start to wonder
I don't recognize myself
You compare me to the others
But I can't be nobody else
Seems you got a hold on me
Really got a hold on me
So let me keep a piece of me
Go ahead take the rest of me
All this time both of us were wrong
And I just blamed myself
You break me down till I got nothing else
I can't lie to myself
Tell me are we only casualties spinning out of love
So no more, no more
Help me tear us from this tragedy
I don't wanna lose our love
So come on, come on
So come on, come on

I just love how he agressively bites the hand when infront of the owner but when the kid wears it.. he tugs it gently

I love how hulk controls his energy around kids and babies🥺
Alan Bell
Stupid comment. This is irresponsible. Pitbulls should not be next to kids.
Sammy
Maybe they'll get on the list soon.

@Alan BellStupid reply. well they know that Hulk is a loyal canine, and would not hurt a baby or kid. He is gentle and knows when it is time to get serious. He calms/controls his energy because he is a working and family dog.
