[Chorus]
G C
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D G
But I loved her so,
C
She was too young to fall in love,
D G
And I was too young to know,
[Verse]
C
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do funny things,
D G
And it made our hearts glow,
C
She was too young to fall in love,
D G
And I was too young to know,
C G
So why did I give my heart so fast,
C G
It never will happen again,
C G
But I was a mere child of sixteen,
D
I've aged a year since then,
[Chorus]
G C
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D G
But I loved her so,
C
She was too young to fall in love,
D G
And I was too young to know,
[Verse]
C G
So why did I give my heart so fast,
C G
It never will happen again,
C G
But I was a mere child of sixteen,
D
I've aged a year since then,
[Chorus]
G C
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D G
But I loved her so,
C
She was too young to fall in love,
D G
And I was too young to know,
