16

[Verse 1]
Sixteen and oh so pretty
Gets down to the nitty-gritty
She's all over the scene in movies and magazines
Everybody knows her name but
She sits in a pile of shame
Her friend's on the ground
She's looking down in jealousy

[Chorus]
She wants to run but there's nowhere to hide
Her name is hung above the northern lights
Give her a break
She feels the knot in her spleen
My god, she's only sixteen

[Verse 1]
Gets up at 5 am
Just in time to get there on set
Three hours of sleep
Not much more to see
Artificial strands of hair glued to her, she's unaware
Her dad won't leave
She pays the bills so they can eat

[Chorus]
She wants to run but there's nowhere to hide
Her name is hung above the northern lights
Give her a break
She feels the knot in her spleen
My god, she's only sixteen

[Bridge]
I didn't want this life (*Sixteen*)
I didn't want this life (*Sixteen*)
I didn't want this life (*Sixteen*)
Sixteen I'm sixteen
Oh only sixteen (*Sixteen*)
I want my freedom
Give me my freedom
Give me my freedom

[Outro]
I'm only sixteen
Living in the Hollywood scene
I'm only sixteen
