We'd laugh and we'd sing and do little things,
that made my heart glow.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
Why did I give my heart so fast?
It never will happen again.
But I was a mere lad of sixteen,
I've aged a year since then.
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
with eyes that would glow.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.
REPEAT:3.
But she was too young to fall in love,
And I was too young to know.(x2)Fade.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
