You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and grueways and cads
Will offer you food and wine
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet, may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
You wait little girl on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page
That men will want to write on
To write on
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet, may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your Ken
You need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I'll take care of you
