When you're sixteen and you're in love You just don't know what you're thinking of When you're sixteen and all the world is at your feet She looks at you and your heart skips a beat That kind of magic can weave a spell And if she's no good well you can't tell 'Cause when you need her only you and the Lord above Know the way you really feel When you're sixteen and you're in love I stay at home at night Just waiting by the phone Hoping she's gonna write Surely she must know I'm all alone When you're sixteen and you're in love You just don't know what you're thinking of When you're sixteen and all the world is at your feet She looks at you and your heart skips a beat That kind of magic can weave a spell And if she's no good well you can't tell 'Cause when you need her only you and the Lord above Know the way you really feel When you're sixteen and you're in love
