The lyrics describes someone who just wants to lie down next to another and be completely submissive to them. The complete surrender of one’s self to the will and ‘law’ of another parallels this same mentality in book 2 poem 4.

So messed up I want you here
In my room I want you here
Now we’re gonna be Face-to-face
And I’ll lay right down In my favorite place
And now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Well c’mon
Now I’m ready to close my eyes
And now I’m ready to close my mind
And now I’m ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wenna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Well c’mon
Listen to the song:
I Wanna Be your Dog
