Explanation: For the longest time, I couldn't decide which direction to take this song in. I considered using the phrase "walkin' the dog" as a metaphor for a one-night stand, but ultimately I opted instead to make the song into an innocent love fantasy. I like it, because it contrasts quite nicely with the imagery of Black Leather. It's not deception, it's dichotomy.


Lyrics:

walkin' the dog, down the street
what'll I say, if'n we meet?
shiftin' my eyes, and'a shufflin' my feet
tappin' my toes to the sound of the beat

I saw you today, down by the shore
I really dig that dress that you wore
I heard you say that life is a bore
if I gave you my love, would you ask for some more?

I'd like to take you out on the town
we could go to a show, or just wander around
and when the sun is sinking, and the day's winding down
we could dine at the finest place to be found

I just want to spend some time with you
and get to know the things you like to do
I'm hoping that you will like me too
so we can be closer, and our feelings be true
