Puppy Love
Omari Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I could not believe
That I was just thirteen
When I told you you're a queen
And would sing the melodies
Some things can never be explained
I'd plant a seed, you let it rain
My heart you will not share
Defend you through the years
Through the years
When I told you I cared
And you'd believe me
Even though we never understood
We held on through the years
Into your arms for safety
Puppy love, in time, grew
And now the years have passed us by
And days together we always smile
It's hard to tell a lie
Then again, why should I
When our future looked so bright?
Sometimes I stop and wonder why
A true princess would give me the time
I have to testify
I've been wrong at certain times
But always knew you were a prize
You're a prize
When I told you I cared
And you'd believe me
Even though we never understood
We held on through the years
Into your arms for safety
Puppy love, in time, it grew
It's hard to find words to explain
How much
You mean to me
But I'm lucky
Puppy love is now eternity
When I told you I cared
And you'd believe me
Even though we never understood
We held on through the years
Into your arms for safety
Puppy love, in time, it grew
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Puppy love (puppy love)

Saw you staring back at me
I noticed that you were looking at me
And I could not believe
I was surprised
That I was just thirteen
I was young and inexperienced
When I told you you're a queen
When I complimented you and said that you were special
And would sing the melodies
And I would write and sing songs about you
Some things can never be explained
Sometimes there are things that don't have a clear reason or explanation
I'd plant a seed, you let it rain
I would try to start something, and you would support and nurture it
And now the season's here
And now the time has come
My heart you will not share
You don't have the same feelings for me
Defend you through the years
I will always protect and support you
When I told you I cared
When I said that I had feelings for you
And you'd believe me
And you trusted what I said
Even though we never understood
Even though we didn't really know what we were doing
We held on through the years
We stayed together for a long time
Into your arms for safety
I found comfort and security in being with you
Puppy love, in time, grew
Our young affection gradually became stronger and more meaningful
And now the years have passed us by
Now that we are older and have been through a lot
And days together we always smile
We look back on our time together with happiness
It's hard to tell a lie
It's difficult to be dishonest
Then again, why should I
But there's no reason to be deceitful
When our future looked so bright?
Especially when we had so much going for us in the past
Sometimes I stop and wonder why
Occasionally, I ask myself why things turned out the way they did
A true princess would give me the time
I am grateful that a wonderful person like you was interested in me
I have to testify
I need to acknowledge
I've been wrong at certain times
I have made mistakes along the way
But always knew you were a prize
But I always recognized that you were valuable and worth having
It's hard to find words to explain
It's difficult to express how I feel
How much
The extent to which
You mean to me
You are important and special to me
But I'm lucky
But I feel fortunate
Puppy love is now eternity
Our young love has become a lasting commitment
Puppy love (puppy love)
Young affection (repeat)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Young affection (repeat)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Young affection (repeat)
Puppy love (puppy love)
Young affection (repeat)
