She was only sixteen, only sixteen
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, do the little things
That made my heart glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Oh why did you give my heart so fast
Boy it never will happen again
You were a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
She was too young to fall in love
But I was too young to know
Oh she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Oh she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
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, do the little things
That made my heart glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Oh why did you give my heart so fast
Boy it never will happen again
You were a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
She was too young to fall in love
But I was too young to know
Oh she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Oh she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
