DR. HOOK
- Only Sixteen Lyrics / with translationsShe 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
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
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
