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
  Ooh, 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
  Ooh, 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
