It had a great beat but You Ain’t Nothin’ But a Hound Dog also gives a lesson in friendship.
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
You are just an insignificant person of no consquence rather like an ordinary common dog
Cryin’ all the time
And you complain constantly about anything and everything. Nothing ever seems to satisfy you or be good enough.
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
You have never accomplished anything worthwhile, reached a goal or made anybody happy
And you ain’t no friend of mine
As a result, I have reconsidered my priorities and decided that I do not need people in my life who are negative and needy without giving anything back. I don’t consider you a friend any longer.
Well they said you was high-classed
Some misguided people have told me that you were a classy person, with taste and judgment and worthy or my friendship
Well, that was just a lie
This is clearly false.
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
