[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
