Andrea Carroll - It Hurts To Be Sixteen lyrics

rate me

The kids are singing loud<br />

Happy birthday, sweet sixteen<br />

So I smile and hope that<br />

My tears will not be seen<br />

<br />

Because I'm much too old to cry<br />

(Too old to cry)<br />

But still too young to find out why<br />

(To find out why)<br />

<br />

Why I'm so lonely<br />

It hurts to be sixteen<br />

<br />

Don't think that you're grown up<br />

When you become sixteen<br />

Because like me, you'll see<br />

You're only in between<br />

<br />

They say that<br />

You're too old for toys<br />

(Too old for toys)<br />

But still you're much<br />

Too young for boys<br />

(Too young for boys)<br />

<br />

I hate to tell you<br />

It hurts to be sixteen<br />

<br />

I found a wonderful guy<br />

(Wonderful guy)<br />

I want to spend my life with him<br />

(Spend my life with him)<br />

<br />

They say we're too young to start<br />

They're driving us apart<br />

We're finished before we begin<br />

<br />

I can't keep smiling through<br />

Cause it hurts, sweet sixteen<br />

This heart is over now<br />

And you know what I mean<br />

<br />

To all of you who have shown up<br />

(Who have shown up)<br />

Come back next year<br />

When I've grown up<br />

(When I've grown up)<br />

<br />

But now please go<br />

Because it hurts to be sixteen<br />

<br />

(You know it hurts to be sixteen)<br />

You know it hurts<br />

(They say it hurts to be sixteen)<br />

I said it hurts<br />

(You know it hurts to be sixteen)
