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 againNo one 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 knowThings in life are not played for keeps
And 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 noFeeling 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 againAlways 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 knowThings 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 noLook 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 I'm sixteen again, oh noFeeling 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 againAlways 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 knowLook 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 I'm sixteen again, oh noSixteen again
Sixteen again
