Dr. Hook - Only sixteen - single version lyrics

She was only sixteen, only sixteen But 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 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 Oooh with eyes that would 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 Oooh but I loved that girl so But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know Yes she was too young to fall in love And I, I was too young, I was much too young to know
