Why do they say that
We're too young to go steady?
Don't they believe it
That I love you already?

Gee, the moon is shining bright
Wish I could go out tonight
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Why do they always
Try to keep us apart?
Why do they laugh at
What I feel in my heart?

Gee, the stars are shining bright
I wish that I could hold you tight
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?

Gee, the stars are shining bright
I wish that I could hold you tight
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?

Yeah yeah, why?
Oh oh oh oh, why?
Oh oh, why?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?
Oh oh, why?
Oh oh oh oh
