Sixteen Going on Seventeen (Remastered)

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 it's 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 Ruez and Kaz will

offer you food and wine.

Totally unprepared are you,

to face a world of men.

Timid and shy and scared are you,

Things beyond your kin.

You need someone older and wiser,

Telling you what to do.

I am seventeen, going on eighteen.

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 of dandy's, drinkers of brandy's.

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 kin.

I need someone older and wiser,

Telling me what to do.

You are seventeen, going on eighteen.

I'll depend on you.
