Sixteen

And she was no beauty queen She was in love at just sixteen with an older boy who hardly knew her name She would think of him and say You will be mine some day But her head was filled with things that could've been And she was just sixteen Her head was filled with fairydust and gold She never did what she was told But she knew what she wanted from a very early age Didn't care about a job or give a damn about a wage She just wanted him, and she wanted him for good She would do whatever it took, whatever she could And now she can't stop loving him she never meant to start But what else can you expect from a foolish heart And she was no beauty queen She was in love at just sixteen with an older boy who hardly knew her name She would think of him and say You will be mine some day But her head was filled with things that could've been And she was just sixteen Age is but a number she would say and she'd believe But four years is way too long to wear your heart on your sleeve And she thought maybe it's time to move on, it's been too long romance is gone, Sung is the song and now this feels all wrong And in a world of advice she feels so small Someone better tell this girl it's probably not love at all And she was no beauty queen She was in love at just sixteen with an older boy who hardly knew her name She would think of him and say You will be mine some day But her head was filled with things that could've been And she was just sixteen Oh no, here she goes again, here she goes again And she got what she wanted when he returned her love Everything was cosy he fit her like a glove She always dreamt of things she never had though she knew that it was wrong He blinked and she blinked and suddenly thirty years were gone They remembered all the times that she was no beauty queen She was in love at just sixteen with an older boy who hardly knew her name She would think of him and say You will be mine some day But her head was filled with things that could've been And she was just sixteen
