Savin’ all your money
For a rainy day limousine
Teenage baby send you
Full friction magazine
I don’t know how she do it
Up down turnaround
Four on the floor tonight
When she did what she was doin’
She was rubbin’ me the wrong way right
Push come to shove
Give it one more try
Don’t miss your water
Until the well runs dry
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Bareback baby
Tell me what’s on your mind
If it’s the same old same old
Slap you on the back behind
I don’t know how you do it
Tell me one time
About how it used to be
You got the judge and jury
Swinging from the highest tree
Push came to shove
Give it one more try
Don’t miss your water
Until the well runs dry
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
I’ll tell you no lies
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
Bass drum beating
Like a hot damn house on fire
Love lover’s quarrels
Always seem to make the body cry
I don’t know how she do it
Tell me one time
About how it used to be
She got the judge and jury
Swinging from the highest tree
Push came to shove
Give it one more try
You don’t miss your water
Until the well runs dry
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
I’ll tell you no lies
Exploring the Wild Spirit of “Love Me Like A Bird Dog”
“Love Me Like A Bird Dog” by Aerosmith captures the band’s gritty, playful take on romance and longing. The lyrics are packed with vivid imagery and clever turns of phrase—limousines on rainy days, friction magazines, and the recurring plea to “love me like a bird dog.” The bird dog metaphor hints at a love that’s loyal but restless, always yearning yet never quite soaring. The phrase “never learn to fly” adds a bittersweet edge, suggesting a relationship mired in habit or fear of change.
Between Passion and Playfulness
Aerosmith balances cheeky, sensual moments with deeper reflection. Lines like “push come to shove, give it one more try” and “don’t miss your water until the well runs dry” evoke the regret and urgency that often accompany love’s ups and downs. The playful rhythm and bluesy groove keep the mood light, but there’s an undercurrent of yearning for something more.
