Should’ve Had Dogs Roger Whittaker

If I'd known about an angry wife with a two by four
If I'd only listened when you told me about a mother in law
If I'd known how much things change when you say, "I do"
Well, I wouldn't have done what I did, I'm telling you

I would've had dogs, I would've had dogs
If I'd known then what I know now
Well, I would've had dogs

I was led by the nose like a bull from the very start
And I must say I really enjoyed the beginning part
You know your favorite food and the bed and the lights now low
But then the kids come along and romance has to go

Well, I should've had dogs, oh, I should've had dogs
If I'd known then what I know now
Well, I would've had dogs

Suddenly they seem to arrive in two's and three's
Any ordinary man would be brought to his knees
She says, "Daddy can I have that dress and I want that hat"
How can any daddy tell her, "No", when she asks like that

Oh, I should've had dogs, oh, I should've had dogs
If I'd known then what I know now
Well, I would've had dogs
