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, its 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 roués and cads
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 naïve.
Fellows I meet may
Tell me I'm sweet,
And willingly I believe.

I am sixteen,
Going on seventeen,
Innocent as a rose.

Bachelor dandies,
Drinkers of Brandies,
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
