Sixteen Going On Seventeen
You wait little girl on a empty stage
for fate to turn the light on
You're life little girl is a empty age
that men will want to write on
To write on
You are 16 going on 17 maybe it's time to think
Better beware be canny and careful
Baby you're on the brink
You are 16 going on 17 fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and grueways and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unperpared are you
To face the world of men
Timide and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond the ken
You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18 I take care of you
(Music)
I am 16 going on 17 I know that I'm Naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
and willingly I believe
I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unperpared am I to face a world of men
Timide and shy and scared am I
of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18 I depend on you
(Music)
The End
for fate to turn the light on
You're life little girl is a empty age
that men will want to write on
To write on
You are 16 going on 17 maybe it's time to think
Better beware be canny and careful
Baby you're on the brink
You are 16 going on 17 fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and grueways and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unperpared are you
To face the world of men
Timide and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond the ken
You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18 I take care of you
(Music)
I am 16 going on 17 I know that I'm Naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
and willingly I believe
I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unperpared am I to face a world of men
Timide and shy and scared am I
of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18 I depend on you
(Music)
The End
