Youve been a juvenile
With a dolphin smile
With no elbow room
With your body in bloom
Youve had your little backyard
Protected by big walls
You didnt dare look over
Cause youve been too small
Now youre finally sixteen
And youre feeling old
But they wont believe
That youve got a soul
Cause youre only sixteen
And youre feeling real
But you cant seem to cop a feel
Why do they force us
Through the metamorphose
Little butterfly
No matter how you try
Youll be segragated
Youre gonna be closed off
Youre callow and youre green
Cause youre caught between
Youre only sixteen
Try to cross the line
But your little wings are intertwined
Youre only sixteen
And youre such a tease
And theres nothing you do
That can really please
"These children
Theyre not really bad most of them
Theyre just products
Of rotten neighborhoods
And bad family situations"
You know you can forsake it
So sit back and take it
You see youre not just ripe
So dont try and fight that
Youre only sixteen
You wanna catch a peek
But they look at you
Like youre such a freak
Well, youre only sixteen
With a lot to say
But they wont give you
The time of day
Youre only sixteen!
Youre only sixteen!!
Youre only sixteen!!!
You poor little thing
