I'm never loved!

You see me everywhere, Sometimes near the garbage, Sometimes near you favourite restaurant.

"Yuck! Bloody animals!" "Shoo shoo! Go away!" I don't understand your language But your face let me perceive, That I'm not wanted at all.

What's my fault that My mother was abandoned By her family? What's my fault that No one's there to bathe me?

Ever wondered how hard it is To see my father under the tyres Of your car? I whined and you just passed by.

When some of you Feel pity for me and Feed me getting out of your way, I can't bear others taunting you For being kind, saying you're an actor.

It's better for me to roam around Rather than hear about my feeders as fake. I'll roam around and find my food And you just go and work hard To give me a better place to live, I beg.
