You're sixteen going on thirty-two

Confusion of age surrounding you

Cigarette dangles from your painted lips

You wear the shoe because it fits



Put on your sneakers and be a kid

Why don't you try and have some fun

Put on your sneakers and be a kid

You're not fooling anyone



Why you wanna grow so old, so fast

Let your teenage ignorance last

Put away all those rings and chains

Come back and enjoy the growing pains



When I saw you the other day

You saw me but turned away

Why didn'y you acknowledge me

Was it cause your date was thirty-three
