According to SongFacts, Robbie recalls his first sexual encounter at the age of 14 on this song. He told The Sun:
We were in a caravan park in Great Yarmouth and she was two years older than me. The song is about sex, the promise of the future and girls and when the hormones kick in.
[Verse 1]
I used to think about it
When I was a little one all alone
Used to be so excited, so excited
On my own
I used to think about it
When I was a little one all alone
Used to be so excited, so excited
In my home
[Pre-Chorus]
You wouldn't believe it even if I told ya
This little girl had too much exposure
Big bad world, eyes black like a raven
I knew right then my soul needed saving
[Chorus 1]
You were way out of my league back then
Go anyway, be a man
I am 16 and I love you
And I'm standing on your step
I took a photograph in my mind
But I don't know where it's kept
I'm embarrassing and limited
With thoughts I have repressed
But I'm 16 and I love you
And I haven't lost it yet
[Verse 2]
I used to be about it
When I was a little one all alone
Used to be so excited, so excited
In my home
I used to think about it
When I was a little one all alone
Used to be all about it, all about it
On my own
[Pre-Chorus]
You wouldn't believe it even if I told ya
This little girl had too much exposure
Big bad world, eyes black like a raven
I knew right then my soul needed saving
(This is the end)
[Chorus 1]
You were way out of my league back then
Go anyway, be a man
I am 16 and I love you
And I'm standing on your step
I took a photograph in my mind
But I don't know where it's kept
I'm embarrassing and limited
With thoughts I have repressed
But I'm 16 and I love you
And I haven't lost it yet
[Bridge]
Let me be your gospel
Baby we've got history
Let me be your gospel
Baby we've got history
This is the end
(Let me be your gospel)
My faithful friend
(Baby we've got history)
The bitter end
(Let me be your gospel)
Coming home again
(Baby we've got history)
This is the end
[Chorus 2]
Drink to you
You always wished me well
And those that don't
Go fuck yourself
Drink to you
You always wished me well
And those that don't
Go fuck yourself
This is the end
