Puppy Love
S Club Juniors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 in our teens
Tell them all please tell them it isn't fair
I cry each night
My tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I hope and I pray that maybe one day
You'll be back in my harms once again
Someone tell me please
Is the answer up above
How can I tell them oh how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love
Someone tell me please
Is the answer up above
How can I tell them oh how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love
The song "Puppy Love" by S Club Juniors speaks about the complexities of young love, the typical dismissal it faces from adults because of the age and the naivety they assumed the younger generation possesses. The song tells the story of a young person who is passionately in love with someone, but others refer to it as "puppy love" due to their age. The lyrics express the frustration of not being taken seriously and not being understood.
The lyrics "And they call it puppy love, Just because we're in our teens, Tell them all please tell them it isn't fair," reflects the frustration felt by young love as they are not given a chance to demonstrate the depth of their feelings. The line "How a young heart really feels," represents the understanding they feel but are not given a chance to express.
The plea in the song for someone to tell what is above is an indication of the depth of the singer's search for answers. They want to know how to express these feelings and make everyone recognize that what they are experiencing is not just "puppy love." It is a plea for understanding and for the chance to express young love the way it should be seen.
Line by Line Meaning
And they call it puppy love
People label our love as insignificant and juvenile
Oh I guess they'll never know
Adults cannot comprehend how intense our emotions truly are
How a young heart really feels
Young love is authentic and powerful
And why I love her so
The reasons behind our love are inexplicable and complex
Just because we're in our teens
Their judgment is based solely on our age
Tell them all please tell them it isn't fair
It is unjust to dismiss our feelings and dreams
To take away my only dream
Our love and future together is our only desire
I cry each night
My heart is heavy with sorrow
My tears for you
My pain is a testament to how much I care for you
My tears are all in vain
I cry for a love that others do not understand or value
I hope and I pray that maybe one day
I hold onto the hope that we will be together again
You'll be back in my harms once again
I long to hold you in my embrace, to feel your love once more
Someone tell me please
I need guidance and reassurance
Is the answer up above
Could it be that there is a higher power that understands our love?
How can I tell them oh how can I tell them
I struggle to express the depth of my love and justify it to others
This is not a puppy love
Our love is genuine and profound, not a mere infatuation
