Verse 1:
She...was only six-teen, only six-teen,
I loved her so.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
Verse 2:
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do the little things,
That made my heart glow.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
Bridge 1:
Why did I give my heart so fast?
It never will happen a-gain.
But I was a mere lad of six-teen;
I've aged a year since then.
Verse 3:
She was only six-teen, only six-teen,
I loved her so.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
Bridge 2:
(Then why did you give your heart so fast?
(But you were a mere lad of six-teen);
Oh, I've aged a year since then.
Verse 4:
She was only six-teen, only six-teen,
I loved her so.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
