She was only sixteen,
Only sixteen
But I loved her so-oho
She was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We laughed and we've said too funny things
And it made our hearts glow-oho
But she was too young ...
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was in me a child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh with eyes that would glow
She was too young ...
Solo
Now she was only sixteen, only sixteen,
Ooh, but I loved that girl so
But she was too young ...
Yes she was too young to fall in love
And I! I was too young!
I was much too young to know.
