[Verse 1]
I'm a baby puppy dog
I can tell that my days are almost done
What am I trying to do?
Just know that I'm loving you
[Refrain]
I'm never gonna let you go
[Verse 2]
In the night, I feel it in her eyes
Love a bird, then you love to see it fly
Without them right by your side
[Refrain]
You don't gotta take control
[Chorus]
Said I want you to want me, oh
(And I want you to stay here)
But I'm feeling it in my bones
(You don't want it for later)
I can't choose to be like that, be like that
I can't choose to be like that, be like that
[Refrain]
Til my days are up and done
[Verse 3]
They don't owe, they don't owe, they don't owe a bit
They don't owe, they don't owe a thing to us
If you think that you're ever taking place of it
Let them go, let them do what they must
[Refrain]
People gotta find their way
[Chorus]
Said I want you to want me, oh
(And I want you to stay here)
But I'm feeling it in my bones
(You don't want it for later)
I can't choose to be like that, be like that
I can't choose to be like that, be like that
[Refrain]
Til my days are up and done
[Instrumental outro]

‘Puppy Dog’ is about impending separation and how it’s hard but necessary and most loving to accept paths Y-ing off. Sometimes that reluctance to accept it can turn into resentment and this song is about not falling into that as much.
