Lyrics: Teenager in Love
Each time we have a quarrelIt almost breaks my heart‘Cause I am so afraidThat we will have to partEach night I ask the starsThe stars up aboveWhy must I be a teenager in loveOne day I feel so happyNext day I feel so sadI guess I’ll learn to takeThe good with the badEach night I ask the stars up above(I ask them why)Why must I be a teenage in loveI cried a tear (I cried a tear)For nobody but you (Nobody but you)I’ll be the lonely one if you should say we’re throughWell if you want to make me cryThat won’t be so hard to doAnd if you should say goodbyeI’ll still go on loving youEach night I ask the stars up aboveWhy must I be a teenager in loveI cried a tear (I cried a tear)For nobody but you (For nobody but you)I’ll be the lonely one if you should say we’re throughYeahWell if you want to make me cryThat won’t be so hard to doAnd if you should say goodbyeI’ll still go on loving youEach night I ask the stars up aboveWhy must I be a teenager in loveWhy must I be a teenager in love
