You were my sweetheart, my high school romance
I remember our first dance;
The record was playing, the song kept saying
I love you, my high school romance.

The fellows all tell me you're not very pretty,
They tell me to go out with Jane or Betty,
But when it's all over, and we grow older
I'll love you, my high school romance.

When school is over and we grow up
Our paths may drift apart,
But in my dreams, always
I'll hold you near sweetheart.

You were my sweetheart, my high school romance
I remember our first dance;
The record was playing, the song kept saying
I love you, my high school romance.
