Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love, particularly between young people during adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection that may be felt by a puppy. The term is often used in a derogatory fashion, describing emotions which are shallow and transient in comparison to other forms of love such as romantic love.
Puppy love, also commonly known as a "crush", can also describe the love or lust of a child or adolescent for an adult. For example, a student being attracted to his or her teacher could be considered puppy love. In this case, the term relates an infatuation which is not reciprocated. The term may meet with resistance from some people as patronising and belittling of genuine emotion.
Canadian-American singer Paul Anka released the single "Puppy Love" in 1960, reaching #2 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #33 in the UK singles charts. The lyrics relate the plight of a seventeen year old taunted by accusations that feelings for his/her beau are "puppy love", ending with the refrain "How can I ever tell them this is not a puppy love?"[3] The song was subsequently covered by Donny Osmond, staying at #1 in the UK for five weeks and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972.
Puppy Love
Lyrics By Paul Anka
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 seventeen (in our teen - Donnie Osmond)
Tell them all 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'll hope and I'll pray that may be some day
You'll be back in my arms once again
Someone help me,help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love
Someone help me,help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I ever tell them
This is not a puppy love
