[Am]Stray hungry dog,
stealing meat from a garbage can
He don't get what he want,

City streets full of creeps,
I'm knee deep in scum
I feel [D]like Christ [Am]on the cross
with a loaded [D]gun

Kick me like a [D]horse now honey
Bite me like a dog, yeah
Scratch me till I bleed now sugar
[Em]Don'tcha ever stop

[Verse 3]
Girl, we gonna [Am]shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna shake some, some action
Girl, we gonna get right down
to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty
gritty

[Verse 4]
Hip shaker, heartbreaker,
spine cracker, voodoo witch
You got the gold, gonna dig,
dig your sugar ditch
I'll do the crime, serve the time,
murder first degree
Cast your spell, gimme hell,
get down on [D]your knees

Bite me like a dog, yeah
Scratch me till I bleed now sugar
