Only Sixteen

She was only sixteen, only sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love (Sixteen, sixteen)
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do the little things (Sixteen, sixteen)
That made my heart glow
But she was too young to fall in love (Sixteen, sixteen)
And I was too young to know

Why did I give my heart so fast?
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love (Sixteen, sixteen)
And I was too young to know

(Then why did you give your heart so fast?)
Boy, it never will happen again
(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love (Sixteen, sixteen)
And I was too young to know
But she was too young to fall in love (Sixteen, sixteen)
And I was too young to know
Whoa, she was too young to fall in love (Sixteen, sixteen)
And I was too young to know
