Only Sixteen lyrics by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show

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'd laugh and we'd sing
and do little things
that made my heart glow
But she was too young
to fall in love
and I was too young to know

Oh why did I give
my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
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

Then why did you give
your heart so fast
It never will happen again
But you were a mere
lad of sixteen
Aged a year since then

Well, she was only sixteen,
only sixteen
with the eyes that would glow
But 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
I was just too young to know
Oh oh oh
