It Hurts to Be Sixteen The Chiffons

[Chorus]
(Rata-tang-rata-tang, ju-tang-ju-tang)
(Rata-tang-rata-tang)

[Verse 1]
The kids are singin' now (Rata-tang-ju-tang-ju-tang)
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
And so, I smile and hope (Rata-tang-ju-tang-ju-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)
Why I'm so lonely
It hurts to be sixteen

[Chorus]
(Rata-tang-rata-tang, ju-tang-ju-tang)
(Rata-tang-rata-tang)

[Verse 2]
Don't think that you're grown up (Rata-tang-ju-tang-ju-tang)
When you become sixteen
Because like me you'll see (Rata-tang-ju-tang-ju-tang)
You're only in-between
They say that you're too old for toys (Too old for toys)
But still you're much too young for boys (Too young for boys)
I hate to tell you
It hurts to be sixteen
