B
Yes I come with baggage,
Sitting here in this cell
Yes I come with baggage,
Oh surely they can tell.
Maybe I was so loved
A pet that just lost his way
Maybe I never knew a home
They say “Just a plain old stray”
Or maybe I was dumped, through no fault of my own
Never again to see, the place I once called home.
Yes I come with baggage,
But then again, so would you
Taken from everything
The only things you ever knew.
Take me home and I can guarantee
I won’t be the perfect pet,
I may not sit, or lay, or stay,
And yes, I may scratch the vet.
Scratch the furniture, chew a hole
Even jump a fence
It’s not that I don’t want to please you
I just haven’t learned how to yet.
Just give
me some time, some love and attention
I beg for a moment or two
Look through these bars and through all of my scars
That’s all I’ll ever ask of you.
They walk past me once,
Give me a glance
All I’m asking for
Is for one more chance.
Yes I come with baggage
But then again so do you
The difference between us, as I study your scars
Is I would never give up on you.
