Lyrics

[00:09.07] You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
[00:12.81] For fate to turn the light on
[00:15.94] Your life, little girl, is an empty page
[00:19.80] That men will want to write on
[00:24.94] To write on
[00:31.33] You are sixteen going on seventeen
[00:34.97] Baby, it's time to think
[00:38.97] Better beware, be canny and careful
[00:41.86] Baby, you're on the brink
[00:46.94] You are sixteen going on seventeen
[00:50.94] Fellows will fall in line
[00:54.90] Eager young lads and rogues and cads
[00:58.71] Will offer you food and wine
[01:02.95] Totally unprepared are you
[01:06.98] To face a world of men
[01:10.88] Timid and shy and scared are you
[01:15.00] Of things beyond your ken
[01:19.08] You need someone older an wiser
[01:23.36] Telling you what to do
[01:27.22] I am seventeen going on eighteen
[01:31.14] I'll take care of you
[01:54.87] I am sixteen going on seventeen
[01:58.32] I know that I'm naive
[02:01.94] Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
[02:05.49] And willingly I believe
[02:09.28] I am sixteen going on seventeen
[02:13.10] Innocent as a rose
[02:17.09] Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
[02:20.59] What do I know of those
[02:25.13] Totally unprepared am I
[02:28.03] To face a world of men
[02:31.74] Timid and shy and scared am I
[02:35.71] Of things beyond my ken
[02:39.47] I need someone older and wiser
[02:43.28] Telling me what to do
[02:46.92] You are seventeen going on eighteen
[02:50.60] I'll depend on you
