Lyrics

Rat-a-tang, rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang Rat-a-tang, rat-a-tang The kids are singing now (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) "Happy Birthday, sweet sixteen" And so I smile and hold back (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) My tears will not be seen Because I'm much too old to cry (Too old to cry) But still too young to find out why (To find out why) I'm so lonely It hurts to be sixteen Rat-a-tang, rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang Rat-a-tang, rat-a-tang Don't think that you're grown up (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) When you become sixteen Because like me, you'll see (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) You're only in between They'll say that you're too old for toys (Too old for toys) But you're much too young for boys (Too young for boys) I'm telling you It hurts to be sixteen I found a wonderful guy (Wonderful guy) I want to spend my life with him (Spend my life with him) They say we're too young to start They're driving us apart We're finished before we begin I can't keep smiling through (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) This bitter sweet sixteen This party's over now (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) You know what I mean For those of you who have shown up (Who have shown up) Come back next year when I'm grown up (When I'm grown up) But now, please go Because it hurts to be sixteen I found a wonderful guy (Wonderful guy) I want to spend my life with him (I want to spend my life with him) We're too young to start They're breaking us apart We're finished before we begin I can't keep smiling through (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) This bitter sweet sixteen This party's over now (Rat-a-tang, ta-tang, ta-tang) You know what I mean To those of you who have shown up (Who have shown up) Come back next year when I'm grown up (When I'm grown up) But now, please go Because it hurts to be sixteen (You know it hurts to be sixteen) Oh, it hurts (They say it hurts to be sixteen) You know that it hurts (You know it hurts to be sixteen) It hurts to be sixteen (They say it hurts to be sixteen) You know that it hurts (You know it hurts to be sixteen)
