Sixteen years that was my age Sixteen years and not afraid At Sixteen years I hadn't learnt That fear would come from being burnt At Sixteen years there didn't seem A single lesson left for me
And as the bottle spun around It came to rest and singled out A girl who seemed of my own age Innocence to be betrayed
As we played our simple game Standing in our adult frames I reached to turn and kiss the girl Barely shared a single word At Sixteen years we both had made The choice to give our love away
Spin
And as the night grew quiet She leant on me and said Would you walk me home Until I'm safely in my bed But as we left the room, outside A man of far more years than me Stopped us to say - Why do you go Why do you take a girl that I know
I'm just Sixteen years - that's all I am Just Sixteen years - not yet a man There's a guy who's dressed in leather and He knows no reason or who I am
He hit me down and He hit me hard and He hit me and I fell Before I knew it I was on the ground
Spin
I was Sixteen years old Sixteen years brave And I beat that lad until I saw the blood run from his face Blood run from his eyes Blood run from his mouth Blood run from his world And the boy ran from the house
I was Sixteen years old Sixteen years brave But why I never saw the girl Of Sixteen years wait Still, I never saw the girl again
