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'll 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'll 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?

    General Commenti think this song is either taking the piss out of how teenagers view love, how they think they're besotted with someone and get depressed as hell when they break up with them
    or.....
    it could be making the point that, although 'schoolgirl crushes' are thought of as pathetic, they're more than that: teenage years can be very traumatic as you try to find your path in life, its a highway of confusion and 'a teenager in love' is more easily hurt than an adult so the final effect: a teeneger in love is a very hurtful thing....how many kids have topped themselves over a romance that went wrong?

    General CommentIt's by Paul Anka. My band cover the original.

    I'd say it was just standard love song subject material, just Paul Anka was famous for 'teeny' songs back in his heyday. He wrote Puppy Love too.
