I Was the Wolf (Alt 1)

Intro I was the wolf you let in the kitchen

Verse 1 You set a place for me at the table You named me after the family dog You patted my head, you taught me prayers You walked me down the hallway fog

Pre-Chorus You said I had the kindest eyes You said I had the softest paws You said I would never hurt the children You should have read the laws

Chorus I was the wolf, I was the wolf You fed me twice and you named me good I was the wolf you let in the kitchen I was the wolf you fed and stood

Verse 2 The children learned to read the warning The wife learned to keep the floor The mother learned to leave the latch off The wolf grew old behind the door

Pre-Chorus You said I had the kindest eyes You said I had the softest paws You said I would never hurt the children You should have read the laws

Chorus I was the wolf, I was the wolf You fed me twice and you named me good I was the wolf you let in the kitchen I was the wolf you fed and stood

Bridge You opened the door to your house tonight You opened the door to a thing with teeth You opened the door to the thing that ate you And the thing that ate your name beneath I was the wolf, I was the wolf You fed me twice and you named me good I was the wolf you let in the kitchen I was the wolf you fed and stood
