[Verse 1]
Paper bag, little tag
Box on my passenger seat
Two brown eyes, one small yawn
Then you leapt straight into me
Tiny teeth on my shoelace
Mud on the rug, and my sleeve
You stole my sock, ran in a circle
Like you knew what you’d achieved
[Pre-Chorus]
I was ready for quiet
You came in like a spark
One wet nose, one wild grin
Now you own my heart
[Chorus]
My first little trouble
My first little joy
My first little trouble
Yeah, you wreck that toy
Paw prints in the hallway
Tail up, whole house lit
My first little trouble
And I love every bit
[Verse 2]
Morning zooms down the corridor
Sock thief with a rocket laugh
You hid a bone in my laundry pile
Then flashed me that guilty half
You tilt your head like, “Who, me?”
When the trash can starts to sway
I try to stay mad for a second
Then you lick it all away
[Pre-Chorus]
I was ready for perfect
You came in wild and bright
One big leap, one soft paw
Turned my whole world right
[Chorus]
My first little trouble
My first little joy
My first little trouble
Yeah, you wreck that toy
Paw prints in the hallway
Tail up, whole house lit
My first little trouble
And I love every bit
[Bridge]
Chewed-up corners, belly flops
Best kind of mess I’ve seen
You found your way to every room
And made it feel like spring
If love had a name tag
It would say your name, I swear
One muddy, laughing little pup
With chaos in your hair
[Chorus]
My first little trouble
My first little joy
My first little trouble
Yeah, you wreck that toy
Paw prints in the hallway
Tail up, whole house lit
My first little trouble
And I love every bit
[Outro]
Come here, bad boy
Come here, good boy
My first little trouble
My first little joy
