The group included five boys, all in their early to mid teens. The original lineup of the Teenagers, an integrated group, included three African-American members, Frankie Lymon, Jimmy Merchant and Sherman Garnes, and two Puerto Rican members, Herman Santiago and Joe Negroni.
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.

The Next Time You See Me
Frankie Lymon Lyrics
Next time you see me, things won't be the same
Next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only got yourself to blame
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
and like the good book says you got to reap just what you sow
Well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long
Well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long
You're a wrong-doing woman and another girl has got your throne
Next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only got yourself to blame
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
and like the good book says you got to reap just what you sow
Well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long
Well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long
