Lyrics

A teenager’s romance is fickled or true
A teenager’s romance is red-hot or blue
You’re either in misery or high on a crest
A teenager’s romance is like all the rest
They tell us we’re different
We haven’t the right to decide for ourselves, dear
What’s black and what’s white? (Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah)
Keep saying you love me and they’ll look upon
A teenager’s romance that goes on and on
They tell us we’re different
We haven’t the right to decide for ourselves, dear
What’s black and what’s white? (Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah)
Keep saying you love me and they’ll look upon
A teenager’s romance that goes on and on
A teenager’s romance that goes on and on
