[Verse 1] Hello I’m not gonna bite you I just want a light, you Got me wishing that I’d never said Hello I don’t want to fight you I don’t got a right to
[Pre-Chorus] This is what I get for being civilized I apologize, and I’ll let you go in a minute If you want it, goodbye Is not what I want to say You took my salutations And threw 'em away
[Chorus] Call off your dogs Listen when I call I know there’s something wrong with the limits We got turned around but we can spin it
Call off your dogs What’s with the walls? If we’re strong, we can win it One word can begin it: Hello
[Verse 2] I got a right to call you baby I got a right to say hello Remember when you used to like me, baby? And it wasn’t that long ago
[Pre-Chorus] This is what I get for being civilized I apologize, and I’ll let you go in a minute If you want it, goodbye Is not what I want to say You took my salutations And you threw 'em away
[Chorus] Call off your dogs Listen when I call I know there’s something wrong with the limits We got turned around, but we can spin it Call off your dogs Oh, what’s with the walls? If we’re strong we can win it One word can begin it: Hello
