When God Made Dogs (What Love Looks Like)

Full Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Had the worst day of my whole entire year,

Lost the job, lost my patience, drowned it all in fear, Walked in the house ready to just collapse and cry, And there he was, waggin', like it's Christmas mornin', "hi."

[Verse 2]

Didn't ask me how the meetin' went, didn't ask me why I'm late, Didn't care I hadn't showered, didn't care about my state, Just climbed up on the couch and put his head upon my knee,

Like he'd been waitin' all day just to comfort me.

[Chorus]

When God made dogs, He was showin' us what love looks like, No conditions, no agenda, just a tail waggin' outta sight, I been searchin' my whole life for somethin' half that pure, Turns out it's been sleepin' on my floor, that's for sure. [Verse 3]

Told my therapist about it, she just kinda smiled, Said "you know that's a pretty solid theology, wild," I said "well I ain't no preacher, but I know what I have seen,

A dog don't love you maybe - a dog loves you clean."

[Chorus]

When God made dogs, He was showin' us what love looks like,

No conditions, no agenda, just a tail waggin' outta sight, I been searchin' my whole life for somethin' half that pure,

Turns out it's been sleepin' on my floor, that's for sure. [Chorus]

When God made dogs, He was showin' us what love looks like,

No conditions, no agenda, just a tail waggin' outta sight, I been searchin' my whole life for somethin' half that pure, Turns out it's been sleepin' on my floor, that's for sure.

[Bridge - spoken, gravelly, warm]

Dog don't care what you make, don't care what you wear, Don't care if you messed up, don't care if life ain't fair,

Just shows up. Every single time. That's the whole sermon right there.

[Final Chorus - big, warm, joyful]

When God made dogs, He was teachin' us somethin' true, Love ain't about the perfect, love's about showin' up for you, So next time that tail wags and them eyes light up so bright,

Remember - that's what love looks like, that's the closest thing to right.
