Lyrics
(F)You (E)are (F)sixteen, (C7)going on seventeen,
(Dm)baby, it's time to (D9)think!
(C9)Better beware, be (F)canny and careful,
(G)baby, you're on the (C9)brink!
(F)You (E)are (F)sixteen, (C7)going on seventeen,
(Dm)fellows will fall in (D9)line.
(C9)Eager young lads and (F)roués and cads will (C7)offer you food and (F)wine.
(Bb)Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men.
Timid and shy and scared are you of (F)things beyond your (C9)ken.
(F)You (E)need (F)someone (C7)older and wiser (F)telling you what to (Bbm)do.
(F)I (E)am (F)seventeen (D7)going on eighteen (G9)I'll
take (C7)care of (F)you.
(F)I (E)am (F)sixteen, (C7)going on seventeen,
(Dm)I know that I'm (D9)naive.
(C9)Fellows I meet may (F)tell me I'm sweet and (G)willingly I'll (C9)believe.
(F)I (E)am (F)sixteen, (C7)going on seventeen,
(Dm)innocent as a (D9)rose.
(C9)Bachelor dandies (F)drinkers of brandies, (C7)what do I know of (F)those?
(Bb)Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men.
Timid and shy and scared am I of (F)things beyound my (C9)ken.
(F)I (E)need (F)someone (C7)older and wiser (F)telling me what to (Bbm)do.
(F)You (E)are (F)seventeen (D7)going on eighteen (G9)I'll
(C7)depend on (F)you.
(F)you.
