It Hurts To Be Sixteen

(ｔｈｅ　ｋｉｄｓ　ａｒｅ　ｓｉｎｇｉｎｇ　ｎｏｗ)

The kids are singing now

(ｈａｐｐｙ　ｂｉｒｔｈｄａｙ　ｓｗｅｅｔ　ｓｉｘｔｅｅｎ)

Happy birthday sweet sixteen

(ａｎｄ　ｓｏ　ｉ　ｓｍｉｌｅ　ａｎｄ　ｈｏｌｄ)

And so I smile and hold

(ｍｙ　ｔｅａｒｓ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｎｏｔ　ｂｅ　ｓｅｅｎ)

My tears will not be seen

(ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｉ’ｍ　ｍｕｃｈ　ｔｏｏ　ｏｌｄ　ｔｏ　ｃｒｙ)

Because I'm much too old to cry

(ｂｕｔ　ｓｔｉｌｌ　ｔｏｏ　ｙｏｕｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｆｉｎｄ　ｏｕｔ　ｗｈｙ)

But still too young to find out why

(ｗｈｙ　ｉ’ｍ　ｓｏ　ｌｏｎｅｌｙ)

Why I'm so lonely

(ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ　ｔｏ　ｂｅ　ｓｉｘｔｅｅｎ)

It hurts to be sixteen

(ｄｏｎ’ｔ　ｔｈｉｎｋ　ｔｈａｔ　ｙｏｕ’ｒｅ　ｇｒｏｗｎ　ｕｐ)

Don't think that you're grown up

(ｗｈｅｎ　ｙｏｕ　ｂｅｃｏｍｅ　ｓｉｘｔｅｅｎ)

When you become sixteen

(ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｍｅ　ｙｏｕ’ｌｌ　ｓｅｅ)

Because like me you'll see

(ｙｏｕ’ｒｅ　ｏｎｌｙ　ｉｎ　ｂｅｔｗｅｅｎ)

You're only in between

(ｔｈｅｙ　ｓａｙ　ｔｈａｔ　ｙｏｕ’ｒｅ)

They say that you're

(ｔｏｏ　ｏｌｄ　ｆｏｒ　ｔｏｙｓ)

too old for toys

(ｂｕｔ　ｓｔｉｌｌ　ｙｏｕ’ｒｅ　ｍｕｃｈ)

But still you're much

(ｔｏｏ　ｙｏｕｎｇ　ｆｏｒ　ｂｏｙｓ)

too young for boys

(ｉ　ｈａｔｅ　ｔｏ　ｔｅｌｌ　ｙｏｕ)

I hate to tell you

(ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ　ｔｏ　ｂｅ　ｓｉｘｔｅｅｎ)

It hurts to be sixteen

(ｉ　ｆｏｕｎｄ　ａ　ｗｏｎｄｅｒｆｕｌ　ｇｕｙ)

I found a wonderful guy

(ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｓｐｅｎｄ　ｍｙ　ｌｉｆｅ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｈｉｍ)

I want to spend my life with him

(ｔｈｅｙ　ｓａｙ　ｗｅ’ｒｅ　ｔｏｏ　ｙｏｕｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｓｔａｒｔ)

They say we're too young to start

(ｔｈｅｙ’ｒｅ　ｄｒｉｖｉｎｇ　ｕｓ　ａｐａｒｔ)

They're driving us apart

(ｗｅ’ｒｅ　ｆｉｎｉｓｈｅｄ　ｂｅｆｏｒｅ　ｗｅ　ｂｅｇｉｎ)

We're finished before we begin

(ｉ　ｃａｎ’ｔ　ｋｅｅｐ　ｓｍｉｌｉｎｇ　ｔｈｒｏｕｇｈ)

I can't keep smiling through

(ｔｈｉｓ　ｉｓ　ｈｅｒ　ｓｗｅｅｔ　ｓｉｘｔｅｅｎ)

This is her sweet sixteen

(ｔｈｉｓ　ｐａｒｔｙ’ｓ　ｏｖｅｒ　ｎｏｗ)

This party's over now

(ｄｏ　ｙｏｕ　ｋｎｏｗ　ｗｈａｔ　ｉ　ｍｅａｎ)

Do you know what I mean

(ｔｏ　ａｌｌ　ｏｆ　ｙｏｕ　ｗｈｏ　ｈａｖｅ　ｓｈｏｗｎ　ｕｐ)

To all of you who have shown up

(ｃｏｍｅ　ｂａｃｋ　ｎｅｘｔ　ｙｅａｒ)

Come back next year

(ｗｈｅｎ　ｉ’ｍ　ｇｒｏｗｎ　ｕｐ)

when I'm grown up

(ｂｕｔ　ｎｏｗ　ｐｌｅａｓｅ　ｇｏ)

But now please go

(ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ　ｔｏ　ｂｅ　ｓｉｘｔｅｅｎ)

Because it hurts to be sixteen

(ｙｏｕ　ｋｎｏｗ　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

You know it hurts

(ｉ　ｓａｉｄ　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

I said it hurts

(ｏｈ，　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

Oh, it hurts

(ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

Because it hurts

(ｙｏｕ　ｋｎｏｗ　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

You know it hurts

(ｉ　ｓａｉｄ　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

I said it hurts

(ｏｈ，　ｉｔ　ｈｕｒｔｓ)

Oh, it hurts
