And they called it "puppy love"
Oh, I guess they'll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so

And they called it "puppy love"
Just because we're, we're 17
Tell them all, it- please, tell them, isn't fair
To take away my only dream

I cry each night, my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I hope, and I pray that may, maybe someday
You'll be back (you'll be back) in my arms (in my arms) once again
(You'll be back in my arms once again)

Someone, help me, help me, help me, please
Is the answer up above?
How could I, oh, how could I tell them
This is not a puppy love? (This is not a puppy love)

Someone, help me, help me, help me, please
Is the answer up above?
How could I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love?

(This is not a puppy love)
