Each time we have a quarrel It almost breaks my heart 'Cause I am so afraid That we will have to part Each night I ask the stars 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 Each night I ask the stars up above (I ask them why) Why must I be a teenage in love I cried a tear (I cried a tear) For nobody but you (Nobody but you) I'll be the 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 I cried a tear (I cried a tear) For nobody but you (For nobody but you) I'll be the lonely one if you should say we're through Yeah 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
