Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you knew Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue without Peggy
My Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal, yes, I love you, Peggy Sue
[Verse 2]
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Oh, how how my heart yearns for you
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal, yes, I love you, Peggy Sue
[Verse 3]
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal, and I need you, Peggy Sue
[Verse 4]
I love you, Peggy Sue
With a love so rare and true
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Well, I love you, gal, and I want you, Peggy Sue
[Verse 5]
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal, yes, I need you, Peggy Sue
[Verse 6]
I love you, Peggy Sue
With a love so rare and true
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal, and I want you Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal, and I want you Peggy Sue
