Falling In Love
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
'Cause I'm so afraid
That we will have to part

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess I'll learn
To take the good with the bad

'Cause each night
I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love

I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one
If you should say we're through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
If you should say goodbye
I'd still go on loving you

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love

I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one
If you should say we're through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I'd still go on loving you

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
Why must I be a teenager in love




Why must I be a teenager in love
Why must I be a teenager in love
