[00:06.564]The kids are singing now
[00:11.113]Happy birthday sweet sixteen
[00:14.563]And so I smile and hold
[00:18.301]My tears will not be seen
[00:22.284]Because I'm much too old to cry
[00:26.009]But still too young to find out why
[00:30.014]Why I'm so lonely
[00:32.397]It hurts to be sixteen
[00:40.639]Don't think that you're grown up
[00:44.910]when you become sixteen
[00:48.894]Because like me you'll see
[00:52.900]You're only in between
[00:56.114]They say that you're too old for toys
[01:00.358]But still you're much too young for boys
[01:04.334]I hate to tell you
[01:06.483]It hurts to be sixteen
[01:10.753]I've found a wonderful guy
[01:15.283]I want to spend my life with him
[01:18.999]They say we're too young to start
[01:21.656]They're driving us apart
[01:23.515]We're finished before we begin
[01:26.472]I can't keep smiling through
[01:30.841]This is her sweet sixteen
[01:34.299]This party's over now
[01:38.268]Do you know what I mean
[01:42.008]To all of you who have shown up
[01:46.013]Come back next year, when I'm grown up
[01:50.423]But now please go
[01:52.023]Because it hurts to be sixteen
[01:57.607]You know it hurts
[02:01.077]I said it hurts
[02:04.805]Oh, it hurts
[02:08.544]Because it hurts
[02:12.526]You know it hurts
[02:15.973]I said it hurts
[02:19.968]Oh, it hurts

The kids are singing now
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
And so I smile and hold
My tears will not be seen
Because I'm much too old to cry
But still too young to find out why
Why I'm so lonely
It hurts to be sixteen
Don't think that you're grown up
when you become sixteen
Because like me you'll see
You're only in between
They say that you're too old for toys
But still you're much too young for boys
I hate to tell you
It hurts to be sixteen
I've found a wonderful guy
I want to 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
This is her sweet sixteen
This party's over now
Do you know what I mean
To all of you who have shown up
Come back next year, when I'm grown up
But now please go
Because it hurts to be sixteen
You know it hurts
I said it hurts
Oh, it hurts
Because it hurts
You know it hurts
I said it hurts
Oh, it hurts
