(Rolf)You wait little girl
On an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on

Your life little girlis an empty page
that men will want to write on

(Leisl)To write on

(Rolf)You are 16 going on 17
Baby its time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby you're on the brink

You are 16 going on 17
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads
And grueways and cads
Will offer you fruit and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someoneOlder and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18
I'll take care of you

(Leisl)I am 16 going on 17
I know that i'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am 16 going on 17
innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies
Drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someoneOlder and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18
I'll depend on you

Today is the last day i can ever sing this song with the true meaning.
Its my last 16. My sweet 16.
My awesome sweet 16.

I am 16 going on 17.
(:
