It Hurts to Be Sixteen Andrea Carroll

[Verse 1]
(Ratta-tang, ratta-tang-ja-tang-ja-tang)
(Ratta-tang, ratta-tang)

The kids are singing now
(Ratta-tang-ja-tang-ja-tang)
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
And so I smile and hope
(Ratta-tang-ja-tang-ja-tang)
My tears will not be seen

[Chorus 1]
Because I'm much too old to cry (Too old to cry)
But still too young to find out why (To find out why)
Oh, I'm so lonely
It hurts to be sixteen

[Verse 2]
(Ratta-tang, ratta-tang-ja-tang-ja-tang)
(Ratta-tang, ratta-tang)

Don't think that you're grown up
(Ratta-tang-ja-tang-ja-tang)
When you become sixteen
Because like me you'll see
(Ratta-tang-ja-tang-ja-tang)
You're only in between
