Puppy Love
The Magic Time Travelers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I guess they'll never know
How a young heart how it really feels
And why I love her so
And they called it puppy love
Just because we're seventeen
Tell them all
Oh please tell them it isn't fair
I cry each night
It's tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I hope I hope and I pray
That maybe someday
You'll be back (you'll be back) in my arms (in my arms)
Once again
Someone help me
Help me please
Is the answer, is it up above?
How can I
Oh how can I ever tell them?
This is not a puppy love
(This is not a puppy love)
Someone help me
Help me please
Is the answer up above?
How can I
Oh how can I tell them?
This is not a puppy love
(This is not a puppy love)
