about

Written on 2020-07-29. Lyrics revised in 2021-12-21 to keep the cat/dog idea going.
This is a song that I’ve played live a few times and it always seems to connect with people. I love when that happens. Originally written while smack dab in the middle of the pandemic and lockdowns and political fighting.

lyrics

One of us would rather be left alone
One of us hides when we hear the phone
One of us prefers a dryer land
The other loves water, beach, and sand
One of us spends most of the day sleeping
One of us would rather be running and leaping

We can both enjoy our lives in our own mismatched way
You and I can co-exist inside the same frame
Just because we’re different doesn’t mean we have to feel ashamed
Cats and dogs don’t have to be the same

One of us loves when our belly is scratched
One of us would murder you for that
One of us can howl and wag and bark
One of us has never seen the park
One of us would growl at a stranger
While one of us would run if there was danger

We can both enjoy our lives in our own mismatched way
You and I can co-exist inside the same frame
Just because we’re different doesn’t mean we have to feel ashamed
Cats and dogs don’t have to be the same

Now the argument is stale
We both could tell a tale
Why are we fighting tooth and nail
Are we both bound to fail?

Let’s put this fight to bed
And move on before we’re dead
The oppositions got no cred
Perhaps be friends instead

We can both enjoy our lives in our own mismatched way
You and I can co-exist inside the same frame
Just because we’re different doesn’t mean we have to feel ashamed
Cats and dogs don’t have to be the same

We can both enjoy our lives in our own mismatched way
You and I can co-exist inside the same frame
Just because we’re different doesn’t mean we have to feel ashamed
Cats and dogs don’t have to be the same

We can both enjoy our lives in our own mismatched way
You and I can co-exist inside the same frame
Just because we’re different doesn’t mean we have to feel ashamed
Cats and dogs don’t have to be the same
No, cats and dogs don’t have to be the same
Cats and dogs don’t have to be the same
