Reprise: Sixteen Going On Seventeen Lyrics

A bell is no bell till you ring it
A song is no song till you sing it
And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't love till you give it awayWhen you're sixteen going on seventeen
Waiting for life to start
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heartWhen that happens after it happens
Nothing is quite the same
Somehow you know you'll jump up and go
If ever he calls your name
Gone our your old ideas of life
The old ideas grow dim
Low and behold your someone's wife
And you belong to him
You may think this kind of adventure
Never may come to you
Darling, sixteen going on seventeen
Wait a year (or two)

I'll wait a year
Just wait a year or two
