She was only sixteen, only sixteen 

But I loved her so 

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 

oh 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) 

But, it never will happen again 

(But I were a mere child of sixteen) 

Oh, I've aged a year since then 

 

She was only sixteen, only sixteen 

Oh but I loved that girl so 

But she was too young to fall in love 

And I was too young to know 

She was too young to fall in love 

And I, I was too young, I was much too young know
