I met a little girl by the name of Peggy Sue
Looked kind of lonely, looked kind of blue
I can tell by the way she smiled at me
She does want a company

But I love you with the love that's true
I don't want somebody new
I'm gonna stick to you, come what may, night and day
And never gonna stray
(but that's not be, johnny, we could care as much she does too)
The way the foolers only make, give and take
But I love you

Told that to Carol on the way to school
Said she was sorry but she thinks I'm cool
Sends me notes even wrote me her phone
Wants me to walk her home

But I love you with the love that's true
I don't want somebody new
I'm gonna stick to you, come what may, night and day
And never gonna stray
(but that's not be, johnny, we could care as much she does too)
The way the foolers only make, give and take
But I love you

At the dance, I met Delayanne Anne
Told me she wants to be my friend
Listen, little cheek, 'cause it's hard to resist
Oh it looks like she wants to be kissed

But I love you with the love that's true
I don't want somebody new
I'm gonna stick to you, come what may, night and day
And never gonna stray
(but that's not be, johnny, we could care as much she does too)
The way the foolers only make, give and take

But I love you, really do, you know I do,
I love you, come on, you're the one, I love you.
