16

Sixteen and oh so pretty
 Gets down to the nitty gritty
 She's all over the scene
 In movies and magazines
 Everybody knows her name but
 She sits in a pile of shame
 Her friends on the ground
 She's looking down in jealously
 She wants to run
 But there's nowhere to hide
 Her name is hang up on the northeast lights
 Give her a break
 She feels the knot on her spleen
 My God, she's only sixteen
 Gets up at five am
 Just in time to get there inset
 Three hours of sleep
 Not much for a teen
 Artificial strands of hair glued to her
 She's unaware her dad won't leave
 She pays the bills so they can eat
 She wants to run
 But there's nowhere to hide
 Her name is hang up on the northeast lights
 Give her a break
 She feels the knot on her spleen
 My God, she's only sixteen
 I didn't want his life
 I didn't want his life
 I didn't want his life
 (Sixteen)
 (I'm sixteen)
 (I'm only sixteen)
 I want my freedom
 Give me my freedom
 Give me my freedom
 I'm young
 I'm only sixteen
 Living in the Hollywood sea
 I'm only sixteen
