なみだの16才 (It Hurts To Be Sixteen) Lyrics by 竹内まりや (Mariya Takeuchi)

Longtime Favorites

2003

[竹内まりや「なみだの16才 (IT HURTS TO BE SIXTEEN) 」歌詞]
The kids are singing now
Happy birthday
Sweet sixteen
And so I smile and hold
My tears will not be seen
Because I'm much
Too old to cry
But still too young
To find out why
Why I'm so lonely
It hurts to be sixteen
Don't think that
You're grown up
When you become sixteen
Because like me you'll see
You're only in between
They say that you're
Too old for toys
But still you're much
Too young for boys
I hate to tell you
It hurts to be sixteen
I found a wonderful guy
I want to spend
My life with him
They say we're too
Young to start
They're driving us apart
We're finished
Before we begin
I can't keep
Smiling through
This is her
Sweet sixteen
This party's over now
Do you know what I mean
To all of you
Who have shown up
Come back next year
When I'm grown up
But now please go
Because it hurts
To be sixteen
You know it hurts
I said it hurts
Oh, it hurts
Because it hurts
You know it hurts
I said it hurts
Oh, it hurts
