And they called it puppy love Oh I guess they'll never know How a young heart how it really feels And why I love her so And they called it puppy love Just because we're seventeen Tell them all Oh please tell them it isn't fair To take away my only dream I cry each night It's tears for you My tears are all in vain I hope I hope and I pray That maybe someday You'll be back (you'll be back) in my arms (in my arms) Once again Someone help me Help me please Is the answer, is it up above? How can I Oh how can I ever tell them? This is not a puppy love (This is not a puppy love) Someone help me Help me please Is the answer up above? How can I Oh how can I tell them? This is not a puppy love (This is not a puppy love)
