She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
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
Oh, with eyes that will 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
Oh, but I loved that girl so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Yeah, she was too young to fall in love
And I, I was too young
I was much too young to know
