NO DOUBT - Sixteen
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!!
