Carrie Underwood - Sixteen Going On Seventeen lyrics

A bell is no bell till you ring it A song is no song till you sing it And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay Love isn't love till you give it away When you're sixteen going on seventeen Waiting for life to start Somebody kind who touches your mind Will suddenly touch your heart When that happens after it happens Nothing is quite the same Somehow you know you'll jump up and go If ever he calls your name Gone our your old ideas of life The old ideas grow dim Low and behold your someone's wife And you belong to him You may think this kind of adventure Never may come to you Darling, sixteen going on seventeen Wait a year (or two) I'll wait a year Just wait a year or two
