ONLY SIXTEEN

Dr Hook



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

Ooh, 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

Ooh, 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
