[00:01.62] Song: Sixteen Going on Seventeen Lyrics
[00:04.24] Artist: Rolf and Liesl Lyrics
[00:05.68]
[00:09.23] You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
[00:12.54] Fo****te to turn the light on
[00:15.29]
[00:15.85] Your life, little girl, is an empty page
[00:20.34] That men will want to write on
[00:23.77]
[00:25.08] To write on
[00:29.01]
[00:31.63] You are sixteen going on seventeen
[00:35.38] Baby, it's time to think
[00:37.81]
[00:39.50] Better beware, be canny and careful
[00:43.43] Baby, you're on the brink
[00:46.55]
[00:47.55] You are sixteen going on seventeen
[00:51.35] Fellows will fall in line
[00:53.91]
[00:55.41] Eager young lads and rogues and cads
[00:59.09] Will offer you food and wine
[01:03.52] Totally unprepared are you
[01:07.45] To face a world of men
[01:10.57]
[01:11.51] Timid and shy and scared are you
[01:14.88]
[01:15.44] Of things beyond your ken
[01:18.68]
[01:19.81] You need someone older an wiser
[01:23.80] Telling you what to do
[01:26.48]
[01:27.86] I am seventeen going on eighteen
[01:31.85] I'll take care of you
[01:36.91]
[01:55.81] I am sixteen going on seventeen
[01:59.13] I know that I'm naive
[02:02.11]
[02:02.74] Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
[02:06.42] And willingly I believe
[02:09.60]
[02:10.41] I am sixteen going on seventeen
[02:13.85] Innocent as a rose
[02:17.22]
[02:17.78] Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
[02:21.40] What do I know of those
[02:23.95]
[02:25.14] Totally unprepared am I
[02:28.88] To face a world of men
[02:31.51]
[02:32.69] Timid and shy and scared am I
[02:36.31] Of things beyond my ken
[02:38.99]
[02:40.30] I need someone older and wiser
[02:44.17] Telling me what to do
[02:46.54]
[02:47.85] You are seventeen going on eighteen
[02:51.72] I'll depend on you
