And they called it poppy love Oh, I guess they'll never know How a young heart, how it really feels And why I love her so And they called it poppy love Just because we're seventeen Tell them all, oh please tell them it isn't fair To take away my only dream I cry each night these tears for you My tears are all in vain Oh, I hope, I hope and I pray That maybe someday you'll be back in my arms once again Someone help me, help me please Is the answer, is it up above? How can I, oh how can I ever tell them Oh, this is not a poppy love Someone help me, help me please Is the answer up above? How can I, oh how can I ever tell them Oh, this is not a poppy love This is not a poppy love
