SBT Fun
STAFFORDS DON'T CRY
I see the children in the lane
They look like friends, we'll have a game
They've got a stick, oh boy, what fun
They'll throw it for me and I'll run
But someone stops me, I wonder why
I think Mum told me Staffords don't cry
Their mother screams "Don't go near those
Horrid dogs, come here, come close
They're dangerous I'll tell you why
They bite little children and they die"
All I can do is watch and sigh
Coz now I know that Staffords don't cry
Mum cuddles me up and says "My pet
We love you dearly so don't you fret"
But I love everyone out there
Why can't they love me, I do care
I wish they weren't made to pass me by
I'm a Stafford, I don't cry
I sit behind my padlocked gate
From early morn till quite late
When I go out its on a lead
Is mine the only heart to bleed
I'm held in check as the world goes by
I wish the Stafford heart could cry
There are some dogs and also men
Who cannot tell a foe from friend
So all of us must bear the blame
Expected to live a life of shame
Condemned, alas, and we don't know why
All we know is we will not cry
