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 16 going on 17, baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful, baby, you're on the brink
You are 16 going on 17, fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18, I'll take care of you
ย
I am 16 going on 17, I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet and willingly, I believe
I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
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 ken
I need someone older and wiser, telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18, I'll depend on you
