Sixteen Lyrics - Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt

You've been a juvenile 

With a dolphin smile 

With no elbow room 

With your body in bloom 

You've had your little backyard 

Protected by big walls 

You didn't dare look over 

'Cause you've been too small 

Now you're finally sixteen 

And you're feeling old 

But they won't believe 

That you've got a soul

'Cause you're only sixteen 

And you're feeling real 

But you can't seem to cop a feel 

Why do they have to force us 

Through this metamorphose 

Little butterfly 

No matter how you try 

You'll be segragated 

You're gonna be closed off 

You're callow and you're green 

'Cause you're caught between 

You're only sixteen 

Try to cross the line 

But your little wings are intertwined 

You're only sixteen 

And you're such a tease 

And there's nothing you do 

Photos 

That can really please 

"These children 

They're not really bad most of them 

They're just products 

Of rotten neighborhoods 

And bad family situations" 

You know you can forsake it 

So sit back and take it 

You see you're not just ripe 

So don't try and fight that 

You're only sixteen 

You wanna catch a peek 

But they look at you 

Like you're such a freak 

Well, you're only sixteen 

With a lot to say 

But they won't give you 

The time of day 

You're only sixteen! 

You're only sixteen!! 

You're only sixteen!!! 

You poor little thing
