Lymon was credited with their first big hit, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, though in the early '90s, a federal judge ruled after a lengthy trial that Lymon hadn't written "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" -- another member of the Teenagers had. Nevertheless, his wise-beyond-his-years vocal and performing abilities not only made the Teenagers a group several notches above the competition but made Lymon the first black teenage pop star. Though only together for a brief 18-month period, Lymon & the Teenagers exerted an enormous influence, spawning several "kid" vocal groups and providing initial inspiration to Berry Gordy to model his entire Motown production approach around Lymon's original vocal style. Inexplicably, the group split into two fractions at the height of their success, and neither had a hit again. Lymon died from a drug overdose at age 25. Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Len Barry, and his principal protégé, Michael Jackson (whose early recordings with the Jackson 5 are virtual re-creations of the early Lymon sound, merely updated) all show the influence of Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers' groundbreaking work.

Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do do do doo
Doo do do doo
Do do do doo
We met at a dance,
Walked hand and hand,
Into the night in this wonderland
We kissed once or twice
That's when our hearts
Danced into to the night
I know, now I know that's the creation of love
Someday we'll walk down the isle
And we'll be wearing a smile
Some people will sing and your mother will cry
As we say I do until the day we die
I love you and you love me
Think how happy we will be
I know, now I know that's the creation of love
I know, now I know that's the creation of love

The third stanza is about the future - the couple will walk down the aisle, surrounded by love and support from family and friends, and commit to being together until death. The final repetition of "I know, now I know" reinforces the idea that this is the true meaning of love - a commitment to being there for each other no matter what.

Background music of the song
We met at a dance,
Our love story began when we met each other at a dance
Walked hand and hand,
We held each other's hand tightly and walked together
Into the night in this wonderland
We walked together into the night, feeling like we were in a wonderful world
I know, now I know that's the creation of love.
That moment was when our love was created and began to blossom
We kissed once or twice
Our love grew stronger as we shared a few sweet kisses
That's when our hearts
Our love that we shared with each other was felt deep within our hearts
Danced into to the night
Our love for each other danced and sparkled throughout the night
Someday we'll walk down the isle
We will be married someday and take a walk down the aisle
And we'll be wearing a smile
We will be so happy on our wedding day that we will wear smiles on our faces
Some people will sing and your mother will cry
Our wedding ceremony will be so beautiful that some people will sing and your mother will cry happy tears
As we say I do until the day we die
As we exchange our vows and say 'I do', we promise to love each other until the end of our lives
I love you and you love me
Our love is pure and true, as I love you and you love me
Think how happy we will be
We will be so happy together, thinking about our future and the love that we share
I know, now I know that's the creation of love
Our love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and I know that this is what true love feels like
I know, now I know that's the creation of love
Our love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and I know that this is what true love feels like

When I close my eyes and listen to his voice singing so beautifully , I almost start to cry. Because he could have gone much further in his career. 😢
But unfortunately he got into the wrong fxckin shxt, by a woman who didn't care about him. Because she was to heavily into it....... Sadly as I shake my head in sarrow he is gone because of it .
There's Nothing Worse Than Wasted Talent.

This is by far my favorite Frankie Lymon song. The Teenagers were backing him on the a-side of this record, Goody Goody. I'm pretty sure they were backing him on this too. They recorded Goody Goody in London while on tour and this was most likely recorded in the same session. I first heard this back when I was 10 and couldn't stop listening to it. Their tune Share is almost as good as this.

I love how he sings, and his voice is soo beautiful. I know..... Now I knooow that's the creation of love❤️
You were blessed with a gifted voice Frankie and you had the world at your snapping finger tips.
You also had so much swag for a kid of your age, it was something ❤️
How much do I wish that you had more guidance from the people that loved you and would've saved you from the scumbags. I feel so sad for you and heartbroken.
I think about how happy you would have been, everybody loved you.
And I know I'll always love you, rest in peace Frankie, for you will always live on in my heart.
