Lyrics

I’ve known love
I've known loss
I've known joy in flashes and sparks,
But none held me close through the cold and the dark.

You came to me
Quiet,
no words and muddy feet
Never brought flowers,
but you brought me peace,

You curled by me till the pain would cease
Your fur in my mouth and my heart would beat.
-
Oh Rick… oh Mister Rick…
You stole my heart
like a tennis ball trick.
You don’t say much,
but your silence is true,
More loyal than Eric,
and twice as cute too.
Your eyes are like velvet,
your soul’s full of grace—
And your butt somehow ends up right in my face.
But still, I confess, my heart does tick…
For you, my darling… Mister Rick.

-
In the car
We drive for miles
Just your wiskers and my little smiles

And Eric called me up to ride
But I'd spend the day looking in your eyes

-
Oh Rick… sweet Mister Rick…
You chewed through my shoe, but I still felt the click.
You came to me dead of night,
Your fur black in the moonlight

Your love will always stick
Thank god I found you… Mister Rick.
-
They say
Say that love
Love is blind.
But I am your human
and you
Will always be
Be my furry mine .
-
Oh Rick… my one and only Mister Rick…
You fart in your sleep, and the smell makes me sick.
But I’d hold my breath till the end of time,
Just to feel your paw in this hand of mine.
You’re not just a pet, you’re my reason, my song—
Even when you drag your butt on the lawn.
So here’s my heart, go fetch it quick…
Forever yours…
Mister Rick.
