0:26Youve been a juvenile
0:30With a dolphin smile
0:33With no elbow room
0:36With your body in bloom
0:39Youve had your little backyard
0:42Protected by big walls
0:45You didnt dare look over
0:48Cause youve been too small
0:50Now you're finally sixteen
0:51And you're feelin old
0:53But they they won't believe
0:55That you got a soul no whoa no
1:02Cause your only sixteen
1:04And you're feelin real
1:06But you you can't seem to cop a feel no whoa no
1:15Why do they have to force us
1:18Through this metamorphose
1:21Little butterfly
1:24No matter how you try
1:28Youll be segregated
1:30You're gonna be closed off
1:33You're callow and you're green
1:36Cause you're caught between
1:39You're only sixteen
1:41Try to cross the line
1:42But your little wings are intertwined no whoa no
1:51Yeah you're only sixteen
1:53And you're such a tease
1:55And theres nothing you do
1:56That can really please no whoa no
2:32You know you can't forsake it
2:35So sit back and take it
2:38You see you're just not ripe
2:41So don't try to fight that
2:44You're only sixteen
2:45You wanna catch a peek
2:46But they they look at you
2:48Like you're such a freak no whoa no
2:55Well you're only sixteen
2:57With a lot to say
2:59But they won't give you
3:00The time of day no whoa no
3:08Well you're only sixteen
3:10Hey you're only sixteen
3:11Hey you're just sixteen
3:13You poor little thing
Youve been a juvenile With a dolphin smile With no elbow room With your body in bloom Youve had your little backyard Protected by big walls You didnt dare look over Cause youve been too small Now you're finally sixteen And you're feelin old But they they won't believe That you got a soul no whoa no Cause your only sixteen And you're feelin real But you you can't seem to cop a feel no whoa no Why do they have to force us Through this metamorphose Little butterfly No matter how you try Youll be segregated You're gonna be closed off You're callow and you're green Cause you're caught between You're only sixteen Try to cross the line But your little wings are intertwined no whoa no Yeah you're only sixteen And you're such a tease And theres nothing you do That can really please no whoa no You know you can't forsake it So sit back and take it You see you're just not ripe So don't try to fight that You're only sixteen You wanna catch a peek But they they look at you Like you're such a freak no whoa no Well you're only sixteen With a lot to say But they won't give you The time of day no whoa no Well you're only sixteen Hey you're only sixteen Hey you're just sixteen You poor little thing
