Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J.E. y'all
Yo I'm looking for girls
(Bow Wow)
Girls that can give me puppy love
Ya know?
(He, he yeah)
West coast, bark on
(Come on)
East coast, bark on
(Come on)
Dirty South, bark on
Yeah
(Come on, come on, come on)
All young girls beware
This pup's off the chains
I'm gritty little something here
Putting down pain
Since I was six
Running with the pound
It's been going down
I'm city to city, town to town
They running up screaming my name
Running up grabbing my chain
Running up tryna get in the game
I'm like ma don't get it twisted
If we kick it get your bark on
Hope to God you see me again, when I'm grown
Type of playa but it ain't
It just sounds like that
Cause I'm just too young to get down like that
(I agree)
Hit the movies, hit the mall
Then come out with big bags
Next day do lunch then head Six Flags
But it don't mean nothin we're just having some fun
Even though I may have told you on the ride you're the one
I'm sorry little shorty I gotta take that back
Cause I'm just too young to get down like that
So
(You can't hear me)
Not a word that I be saying
(Its plain to see)
Girl I just be playing with you
(Girl you and me, see it's just puppy love, oh)
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
Re(You can't hear me)
Not a word that I be saying
(Its plain to see)
Girl I just be playing with you
(Girl you and me, see it's just puppy love, oh)
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
Even if you're three years older than me
And caught yourself noticing me
In my mind, set don't change
I might up my game
But the story that I tell 'em
When I tell it, it remains the same
You wouldn't believe how they be coming at me
Steady, steady tryna throw something at me
Like I'mma get happy
Just because honey got her learner's permit
Can come and scoop me after school
Like I'm supposed to be on it
Naw ain't no sippin' over here
It's Big Pimpin' over here
And I hope that I make myself clear
That when it comes to honeys yo I got some minutes
And I ain't tryna get serious till I'm up in my twenties
It's just the paper that I'm after
The drop with the top I'mma cop when I'm able
And that's all that matters
So if I told you something shorty
I'm taking that back
Cause I'm just too young to get down like that
So...
(You can't hear me)
Not a word that I be saying
(Its plain to see)
Girl I just be playing with you
(Girl you and me, see it's just puppy love, oh)
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
(You can't hear me)
Not a word that I be saying
(Its plain to see)
Girl I just be playing with you
(Girl you and me, see it's just puppy love, oh)
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
(You can't hear me)
Not a word that I be saying
(Its plain to see)
Girl I just be playing with you
(Girl you and me, see it's just puppy love, oh)
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
(You can't hear me)
Not a word that I be saying
(Its plain to see)
Girl I just be playing with you
(Girl you and me, see it's just puppy love, oh)
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
You can't hear me
It's plain to see
Girl you and me
See it's just puppy love, oh
You can't hear me
It's plain to see
Girl you and me
See it's just puppy love

Yo, I'm looking for girls
Hey, I'm looking for girls
Girls that can give me puppy love
Girls who can give me casual love like a puppy
All young girls beware
Hey, young girls be cautious
This pup's off the chains
I am a wild person
Putting down pain
I am causing trouble
Since I was six
I was like this since I was six
Running with the pound
I am running around with a group of people
It's been going down
Things have been happening
They running up screaming my name
People are running up to me and calling my name
Running up grabbing my chain
People are trying to steal my expensive jewelry
Running up tryna get in the game
People are trying to be famous like me
Hope to God you see me again when I'm grown
I hope you see me as an adult
Type of playa but it ain't, it just sounds like that
I may seem like a player, but I'm not
Cause I'm just too young to get down like that
I am too young for more serious relationships
But it don't mean nothin we're just having some fun
Having fun doesn't mean anything serious
Even though I may have told you on the ride you're the one
On the ride, I may have told you that you're special
I'm sorry little shorty I gotta take that back
I'm sorry, but what I said earlier is not true
Even if you're three years older than me
Even if you're older than me
And caught yourself noticing me
If you have noticed me too
It's just the paper that I'm after
I only care about money
And that's all that matters
That's the only thing important
So if I told you something shorty, I'm taking that back
If I said something before, it's not true anymore
Bark on baby, bark on, bark on
Let's just have a good time
Not a word that I be saying
I am not being serious
Girl I just be playing with you
I am just joking around with you
See it's just puppy love
It's just a casual, puppy-like kind of love
