She was a RAD kid
As in reactive attachment
'Cause Mom and Dad did drugs
So she was taken by the government
A foster kid at the age of 5
In this bitch they call life
Just trying to skirt by
With clipped wings that couldn't fly

I was 15 in love for the first time
With my teenage dream an all American cherry pie
Her tits were the first that I ever touched
I think about it now, I didn't even know what love was
But my gut we were gonna outlast earth
Never break up there'd be an apocalypse first
In a lot of ways I was right about that
A lot of folks were right when they said that we were too attached
Most of which were the parents that adopted her
Over protective hovered like a helicopter
Still found time to cop my feels
First handful of anything in life that felt real
But we were steady, we were in it for the long haul
Never gave a fuck about who said it was the wrong call
Five hours at home on these phone calls
6 people at my house pissed when dial up stalle

Just puppy love doing what it does
It's puppy love baby just puppy love
They telling us it's just puppy love
Puppy love baby just puppy love

I was in math class, probably dyslexic
It was kicking my ass the way I'd never get shit
Had a brick phone and back then you never texted
Every month you only had a set amount of messages
When it off priority felt high
This time it was pictures of my girl with two black eyes
She told me her Mom would hit her sometimes
It was summer the room was filled with sunshine
I said "what the fuck you mean sometimes?
One time is already too many times
And two black eyes is one call to the cops"
She said I didn't know who her Mom was
She had influence and mingled with mayors
Used to fuck a judge who probably wouldn't even care
For the first time in life I knew what I was born for
Why the world could never knock me down to the floor
See I was in a comic hero origin plot
With justice on my side I could never be stopped
Rode my bike to that big house on that nice block
Told her folks that we probably ought to talk

It's puppy love doing what it does
It's puppy love baby just puppy love
They telling me I'm not old enough
I thought…

I was ready to swing, ready for anything
Felt like Superman with the red cape and everything
But I was powerless and they wanted a PFA
They told me I didn't know how hard she was to raise
We skipped school to phone the cops the next day
Probably the last time I ever prayed
Shit would happen in the weeks to come
That wreaked havoc on my life I'd never recover from
Every love I've had since feels like a warzone
I'm on the frontlines watching bodies get blow
Meanwhile I was at home with the horse shit
That molded a kid into an ironclad warship
She went back into foster care
I tried to have her back, tried to always be there
I Didn't know I had issues of my own
Would've been best just to best just to leave her alone
Later on we both got into drugs
But she was born if two addicts and I know what that does
I think about her now, I hope that she's loved
Hope she's mending her wings and she hovers up above
This life as the angel that I thought she was
When puppy love was doing what it does

It's puppy love doing what it does
Its puppy love baby just puppy love
They telling us it's just puppy love
Puppy love baby just puppy love
Puppy love doing what it does
It's puppy love baby just puppy love
They telling me I'm not old enough
They telling me it's just puppy love
Puppy love doing what it does
Puppy love doing what it does
Puppy love baby just puppy love
Puppy love
It's just puppy love
