Puppy Love Lyrics

He called my name on my way to band

Catching up with a note in hand

I was 13

It was February 14th

He said, "it's not much and I understand

Your parents say you're too young for a boyfriend

But I wanted you to have something from me"

It's been years and years

And I'm happy now

But I think of him

Like clockwork somehow

Puppy love won't always last

But what's written on the skin

Of your hand in science class

You'll remember when

You're 30 getting married

'Cause it set the precedent

Oh, Puppy Love

I owe you lots for trying as a kid

He smiled and waved to me in the stands

His hair lay flat from his helmet and

I was 15

He was my movie scene

Together, we grew up

We were family friends

If I was ever in love

It was with him

But one Easter

He introduced her to me

Puppy love won't always last

But what's written on the skin

Of your hand in science class

You'll remember when

You're 30 getting married

'Cause it set the precedent

Oh, Puppy Love

I owe you lots for shaping who I am

The note's in a box under my bed

I'm 18 and I still read it now and then

The running back left the girlfriend for the game

I'm 18 and I still love him

Just not the same

Puppy love won't always last

But what's written on the skin

Of your hand in science class

You'll remember when

You're 30 getting married

'Cause it set the precedent

Oh, Puppy Love

I owe you lots for trying

Oh, Puppy Love

We were so young

In some ways we knew better then

Hey, Puppy Love

For what it was

It really was something
