Sixteen Again
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like I was sixteen again
Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart
But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte
I don't know
Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once then don't think twice
Cos things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no
Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again
Things don't seem the same the past is so plain
This future is our future this time's not a game
This time you're sixteen again
Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know
Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy
it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once then don't think twice
Cos things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no
Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of what you recognize
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true
That we're sixteen again
Oh no
Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
Lazyin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like I was sixteen again
Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know
Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of love's suicide
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true
That we're sixteen again
Oh no
Sixteen again
Sixteen again
