It Hurts to Be Sixteen-Andrea Carroll

The kids are singing loud Happy birthday, sweet sixteen So I smile and hope that My tears will not be seen Because I'm much too old to cry (Too old to cry) But still too young to find out why (To find out why) Why I'm so lonely It hurts to be sixteen Don't think that you're grown up When you become sixteen Because like me, you'll see You're only in between They say that You're too old for toys (Too old for toys) But still you're much Too young for boys (Too young for boys) I hate to tell you It hurts to be sixteen I found a wonderful guy (Wonderful guy) I want to spend my life with him (Spend my life with him) They say we're too young to start They're driving us apart We're finished before we begin I can't keep smiling through Cause it hurts, sweet sixteen This heart is over now And you know what I mean To all of you who have shown up (Who have shown up) Come back next year When I've grown up (When I've grown up) But now please go Because it hurts to be sixteen (You know it hurts to be sixteen) You know it hurts (They say it hurts to be sixteen) I said it hurts (You know it hurts to be sixteen)
