Chorus

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
She was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Verse

We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do funny things
And it made our hearts glow
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 

Chorus

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
She was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Verse

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

Chorus

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
Oohhh, but I loved that girl so
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-iiiii, I was too young, I was much too young to know, ahhhhh, ahhh
