Number Sixteen Lyrics - Odessa Tapes - Flatlanders

I'll tell you something you don't know 

Something I found out long ago 

Something that's bothered you 

It's alright babe it bothered me too 

Sometimes we catch on kinda slow 

I think that you would know its true 

and maybe you'd not think so of you 

and sometimes we must be told 

sometimes before we get too old 

and that's all that I'm tryin' to do 

I know that how loneliness can burn 

but that's only one thing you must learn 

I know you're feelin' down 

but there are things lower than the ground 

now you've got one more place to turn 

So I'll tell you something you don't know 

Something I found out long ago 

Something that's bothered you 

It's alright babe it bothered me too 

Sometimes we catch on kinda slow
