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
