No Doubt - Sixteen lyrics

One, two, three, four...<br><br>Yeah!<br><br>You've been a juvenile<br>With a dolphin smile<br>With no elbow room<br>With your body in bloom<br>You've had your little backyard<br>Protected by big walls<br>You didn't dare look over<br>'cause you've been too small<br><br>Now you're finally sixteen<br>And you're feelin' old<br>But they, they won't believe<br>That you got a soul no whoa no<br>'cause your only sixteen<br>And you're feelin' real<br>But you, you can't seem to cop a feel no whoa no<br><br>Why do they have to force us<br>Through this metamorphose<br>Little butterfly<br>No matter how you try<br>You'll be segregated<br>You're gonna be closed off<br>You're callow and you're green<br>'cause you're caught between<br><br>You're only sixteen<br>Try to cross the line<br>But your little wings are intertwined no whoa no<br>Yeah you're only sixteen<br>And you're such a tease<br>And there's nothing you do<br>That can really please no whoa no<br><br>'these children<br>They're not really bad most of them<br>They're just products<br>Of rotten neighborhoods<br>And bad family situations'<br><br>You know you can't forsake it<br>So sit back and take it<br>You see you're just not ripe<br>So don't try to fight that<br><br>You're only sixteen<br>You wanna catch a peek<br>But they, they look at you<br>Like you're such a freak no whoa no<br>Well you're only sixteen<br>With a lot to say<br>But they won't give you<br>The time of day no whoa no<br><br>Well you're only sixteen! (you're only sixteen)<br>Hey you're only sixteen!! (you're only sixteen)<br>Hey you're just sixteen!!! (you're only sixteen)<br>You poor little thing.
