Lyrics:
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
And I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We laugh and we sing and do the litle 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 will never happen again
But 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

(Why did you give your heart so fast)?
Boy, it will never happen again
(But 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
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
