she was only sixteen only sixteen
but i loved her so
she was too young to fall in love
and i was too young to know
we’d laugh and we’d sing
and do the little things
that made my heart glow
but she was too young to fall in love
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
with eyes that would glow
but she was too young to fall in love
and i was too young to know
but 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
with eyes that would glow
but she was too young to fall in love
and i was too young to know
she was too young to fall in love
and i was too young to know
