Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Only Sixteen lyrics

rate me

(B. Campbell)

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

But I loved her so

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do funny things

And it made our hearts glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast, it never will happen again

But I was a mere child of sixteen, I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

Oooh with eyes that would glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast, it never will happen again

But I was a mere child of sixteen, I've aged a year since then

Now she was only sixteen, only sixteen

Oooh but I loved that girl so

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

Yes she was too young to fall in love

And I, I was too young, I was much too young to know
