Sixteen Going On Seventeen

Walk On - The Blazers

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 its 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 young lads

And grue ways and cads

Will offer you fruit and wine

Totally unprepared are you

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared are you

Of things beyond your ken

You need someone

Older and wiser

Telling you what to do

I am seventeen going on 18

I'll take care of you

I am sixteen going on seventeen

I know that I'm naive

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm 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

Totally unprepared am I

To face a world 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 18

I'll depend on you
