The Teenagers' first single, 1956's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", was also their biggest. After Lymon went solo in mid-1957, both his career and those of the Teenagers fell into decline. Lymon eventually fell into heroin addiction, and died in 1968 at the age of twenty-five.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I promise to love you
No matter what you do
I want you, I need you
I love you through and through
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I promise to be true
I promise to remember
The meaning of romance
If I've done something wrong
Give me one more chance
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I promise to be true
[VERSE 1]
Oh, oh, my darling
I have promised
To give you my heart
Oh, darling promise me
We will never part
I know I'm not a king
And I'm not very wise
But something that you must realize

Nice! Better than “CUPID” by FIFTY FIFTY in my opinion. I mean “CUPID” is an okay song, but not better compared to this song.
