Love Those Who Love You

Love those who care for you Appreciate those who appreciate you A dog rarely bites its owner If a dog does that, just put it to sleep Gentlemen, love the women who love you The women, who care for you If someone does not like you, don't be angry People have the rights to like or dislike This is a democracy, everyone is free Chill with those who stand with you Disregard or steer clear of the ones who can't stand you Keep a cool head; do not behave like you're crazy When a dog barks its owner, this is due to happiness But, when it bites its master, this is aggressiveness It is ok to shoot it or to put it to sleep A cat always respects its master Avoid those who don't give a hoot about you However, appreciate those who appreciate you Don't lose sleep over someone who despises you However, do your best for those who care about you Ignore the gooey hypocrites and the slimy ingrates Old cats shall remain old cats regardless At times, they behave like grumpy old crabs And they unnervingly mimic old rats Please love those who care for you And acknowledge those who see you.
