You´ve been a juvenile With a dolphin smile With no elbow room With your body in bloom You´ve had your little backyard Protected by big walls You didn´t dare look over ´Cause you´ve been too small Now you´re finally sixteen And you´re feeling old But they won´t believe That you´ve got a soul
´Cause you´re only sixteen And you´re feeling real But you can´t seem to cop a feel Why do they force us Through the metamorphose
Little butterfly No matter how you try You´ll be segragated 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 You´re only sixteen And you´re such a tease And there´s nothing you do
That can really please "These children They´re not really bad most of them They´re just products Of rotten neighborhoods And bad family situations"
You know you can forsake it So sit back and take it You see you´re not just ripe So don´t try and fight that You´re only sixteen
You wanna catch a peek But they look at you Like you´re such a freak Well, you´re only sixteen With a lot to say But they won´t give you The time of day
You´re only sixteen! You´re only sixteen!! You´re only sixteen!!! You poor little thing
