Lyrics Sixteen Going On Seventeen - Irwin Kostal
...
You
wait
little
girl
on
an
empty
stage
For
fate
will
turn
the
light
on
Your
life
little
girl
is
an
empty
page
That
men
will
want
to
write
on
To
write
on
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
rogues
and
cads
Will
offer
you
food
and
wine
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'm
seventeen
going
on
eighteen
I'll
take
care
of
you
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
am
I
to
face
a
world
of
men
Timid
and
shy
and
scared
am
I
Of
things
beyond
my
ken
I
need
someone
older
and
wiser
telling
me
what
to
do
You
are
seventeen
going
on
eighteen
I'll
depend
on
you
