Lyrics
MUTT (CB Remix)
Leon Thomas & Chris Brown
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt"
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt"
I'm a dog, I'm a mutt
I can't smoke on reggie, so pardon my bluntness
I see past pretty faces, so I got trouble trusting
But I let my guard down for you
Said I'll put my guard down for you
Said I'll be vulnerable
So you can break my heart if you want to
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt"
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt"
I'm a dog, I'm a mutt
How can I take it easy, babe?
With the way you do that thing I like
Keep on grabbing on my chains
You're coming home with me tonight
Baby, I'm a different breed
And not your typical
Oh, I love it when you make me chase
Might just listen when you tell me stay
This ain't no temporary feeling
The way that body talk
I'm loving what I'm hearing
You don't gotta say anything
We can take our time, what's the rush?
You can bring a friend, girl, I don't judge
You know I'm a freak, got me tryna eat it up
Shawty, I'm a trick, I'll get you what you want
With them other girls, ain't no trust
Said I only let my guard down for you
So you can break my heart if you want to, girl
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt"
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt"
I'm a dog, I'm a mutt
Meaning & Analysis
"MUTT (CB Remix)" sees Leon Thomas teaming up with R&B heavyweight Chris Brown to explore themes of commitment issues, vulnerability, and lust. The central metaphor of the song is the "mutt"—a dog of mixed breed, implying a man who is untamed, promiscuous, or simply "different."
The "Mutt" Metaphor
When he says "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt," he's admitting to his flaws upfront. He warns his partner that he isn't used to settling down ("trouble trusting"). However, he is willing to "put his guard down" for this specific person, showing a desire to change.
Vulnerability vs. Instinct
The lyrics balance his "dog" instincts (wanting to rush, mentioning bringing a friend) with genuine vulnerability ("So you can break my heart if you want to"). It's a classic R&B narrative of a "bad boy" finding someone worth risking heartbreak for.
