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 seventeen
Tell them all it
Please tell them it isn't fair
To take away my only dream

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

Someone help me, 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

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