Get it while you can. It' s time for this man to become sophisticated, Become all I hated When I was Sixteen years old. On the street tonight, See the colours shining bright and complicated, Everything I hated When I was Sixteen years old. Everyday, See my innocence Just fading away. All the black and white, It turns into grey Oh what more can I say? Say just what you mean. Mean just what you say. For a day It's not the same thing for A hermit or king Who's no longer Sixteen years old. Everyday See my innocence Just fading away, All the black and white, It turns into grey. Oh what more can I say? She was an only child, I was a lonely child. My god strike me blind! Cut out my tongue, So i can't say what I've done. Just like Leonard used to say "I ache in all the places That I used to play in", And my patience is thin, Now I' m not Sixteen years old
