[00:09.07]You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
[00:12.81]For fate to turn the light on
[00:15.94]Your life, little girl, is an empty page
[00:19.80]That men will want to write on
[00:24.94]To write on
[00:31.33]You are sixteen going on seventeen
[00:34.97]Baby, it's time to think
[00:38.97]Better beware, be canny and careful
[00:41.86]Baby, you're on the brink
[00:46.94]You are sixteen going on seventeen
[00:50.94]Fellows will fall in line
[00:54.90]Eager young lads and rogues and cads
[00:58.71]Will offer you food and wine
[01:02.95]Totally unprepared are you
[01:06.98]To face a world of men
[01:10.88]Timid and shy and scared are you
[01:15.00]Of things beyond your ken
[01:19.08]You need someone older and wiser
[01:23.36]Telling you what to do
[01:27.22]I am seventeen going on eighteen
[01:31.14]I'll take care of you
[01:54.87]I am sixteen going on seventeen
[01:58.32]I know that I'm naive
[02:01.94]Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
[02:05.49]And willingly I believe
[02:09.28]I am sixteen going on seventeen
[02:13.10]Innocent as a rose
[02:17.09]Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
[02:20.59]What do I know of those
[02:25.13]Totally unprepared am I
[02:28.03]To face a world of men
[02:31.74]Timid and shy and scared am I
[02:35.71]Of things beyond my ken
[02:39.47]I need someone older and wiser
[02:43.28]Telling me what to do
[02:46.92]You are seventeen going on eighteen
[02:50.60]I'll depend on you
