SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to 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 your lads
And roues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser
Tell you what do...
I am seventeen, going on eighteen
I'll take care of you
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm native
Fellow I meet will tell me I 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?
Toally unprepared am I
To face the wold 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
