Sixteen Going On Seventeen Lyrics

(-Rolf-)
You wait little girl on an empty stage for fate to turn the light
on
Your life little girl is an empty page that men will want to write
on
(to write on)

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, It's
time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the
brink

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in
line
Eager young lads and rogues and cats
Will offer you food and
wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and
shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone
older and wiser telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on
eighteen
I'll take care of you!

(-Liesl-)
I am sixteen going on
seventeen
I know that I'm naive 
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet

And willingly I believe

I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent
as a rose
Bachelor dandy's, drinkers of brandy's
What do I know of
those?

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and
shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone older and
wiser telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll
depend on you
