"Puppy Love" is a popular song written by Paul Anka in 1960 for Annette Funicello, a Mouseketeer, whom he had a crush on.[citation needed] Anka's version reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 behind Percy Faith's "Theme from A Summer Place",[1] No. 4 on the Canadian CHUM Charts,[2] and No. 33 on the UK Singles Chart
And they called it puppy love Oh, I guess they'll never know How a young heart really feels And why I love her so And they called it puppy love Just because we're in our teens Tell them all it isn't fair To take away my only dream I cry each night my tears for you My tears are all in vain I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday You'll be back in my arms once again Someone, help me, help me, help me please Is the answer up above How can I, how can I tell them This is not a puppy love
