Bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
If you cry I think my heart would break,
That would be much more than I could take.
And if I saw a tear fall from your eye,
Darling don't you know that I would die.
True love, true love,
true love, true love.
Bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
If you cry I don't know what I'll do,
Baby cause I'm so in love with you.
And if I knew that I had caused you pain,
My tears would fall like the rain.
True love, true love,
true love, true love.

Lyrics
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Lyrics
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
Since you're gone
I got a mess of the blues

I ain't slept a wink since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since you're gone
I got a mess of the blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of the blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone
I got a mess of the blues

Since you're gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you're gone I got a mess of the blues

Lyrics
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 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
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?
