Sixteen Lyrics

One, two, three, four
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, they won't believe That you've got a soul, no, no, oh
'Cause you're only sixteen And you're keeping it real But you, you can't seem to Cop a feel, no, no, oh
Why do they have force us? Through the metamorphose Little butterfly No matter how you try
You'll be segregated You're gonna be closed off You're callow and you're green 'Cause you're caught between
And you're only sixteen Try to cross the line But your, your little wings are [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/sixteen-lyrics-no-doubt.html ] Intertwined, oh whoa, no, oh
And you're only sixteen And you're such a tease And there's nothing you do That can really please, whoa, oh no
These children They're not really bad most of them Just products of rotten neighborhoods And bad family situations
You know you can't forsake it So sit back and take it You see, you're not just ripe So now don't try and fight
That you're only sixteen Wanna catch a peek But they, they look at you Like you're such a freak, oh, whoa no
Well you're only sixteen With a lot to say But they, they won't give you The time of day, whoa, whoa no
Well you're only sixteen (You're only sixteen) Well you're only sixteen (You're only sixteen) Well you're just sixteen (You're only sixteen) You poor little thing
