It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
You make me wanna be like one of those girls
From the 1950's wearing those big pearls
I'll cook you breakfast
Coffee on your desk, yes
I might burn your toast
But baby, I'm still the bestest
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
You make me wanna be like one of those girls
On the colored TV, it was a new world
The Dick Van Dyke Show
We're Cher and Bono
The way I sing 'I Got You Babe'
Makes you say "oh no"
Cause you're the class president
Without Jackie O
And I'm singing 'Happy Birthday'
Like Marilyn Monroe
One, this is not a school girl crush, no
Two, this is not puppy love, uh-uh
It's the real thing
When you told me you loved me
Promise I'll never see Arthur or Bobby, baby
One, this is not a school girl thing, no
Two, what about the diamond ring? Uh-uh
Everyone knows I'm like Jessica Rabbit
I'm your leading lady, I gotta have it, baby
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
You make me wanna be like one of those girls
Calendar pin-up queen in platinum curls
I'll do my summer pose
Golden sand between my toes
You can pack my favorite snack
A Veuve Clicquot and Ho Ho's
You're everybody's hero and you're hitting it home
While I'm singing for the soldiers
Like Marilyn Monroe
One, this is not a school girl crush, no
Two, this is not puppy love, uh-uh
It's the real thing
When you told me you loved me
Promise I'll never see Arthur or Bobby, baby
One, this is not a school girl thing, no
Two, what about the diamond ring? Uh-uh
Everyone knows I'm like Jessica Rabbit
I'm your leading lady, I gotta have it, baby
Baby, baby
And if I call you on the telephone
I might overdose
Cause I'm strong but I'm lonely
Like Marilyn Monroe
This is not a school girl crush
This is not puppy love
It's the real thing
When you told me you loved me
What ever happened to hold me and trust me, baby?
One, this is not a school girl crush, no
Two, this is not puppy love, uh-uh
It's the real thing
When you told me you loved me
Promise I'll never see Arthur or Bobby, baby
One, this is not a school girl thing, no
Two, what about the diamond ring? Uh-uh
Everyone knows I'm like Jessica Rabbit
I'm your leading lady, I gotta have it, baby
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
It's not puppy love
Puppy, puppy, puppy love
It's not puppy love
