It took me a while to get used to the slow smoky style of this number. iris tramm's first song. it's now one of my favorites. iris has a dog, a german shepherd named meadows, who is an important   Acter in the story. she sings to him about her disillusionment with men, hence the refrain " that's why I live with my dog." the song hints that nevertheless falling for norman paperma   Coconut grove iris sang to an amazingly lifelike puppet dog, whitch all but upstaged her, and won the audience affection all though the evening.      Shelia says the heart is just a muscle   Shelia says the heart is cooled by time   Hiding out for years down in these trade winds   In the land of coconuts and limes      Chorus:   I've played this game for too long   My life's just one same old song   Now marooned for a time on this island   I go into and out of the fog   And that's why I live with my dog      Instrumental bridge      Men oh, men oh, oh men I've known to many   Deceivers cloaked in clumsy vanity   What men lack in love and understanding   They make up in stupidity      Chorus:   But now and then one comes along   And lights up my world like a song   I am tempted to unleash my interest   Yet I put it to you man's best friend   There's just one sad old way it can end      Bridge:   We have our faults   But men have only two   All that they say   All that they do   You're a joy and a friend and a guardian   Never bored with my sad monologue   You're better off with a dog   Sheila says the heart's just a muscle   Sheila says the heart's just a muscle
