Another really awesome and easy No Doubt song to learn! :)
Intro: C Dm C
Am Dm G C
You've been a juvenile, with a dolphin smile,
Am Dm G C
With no elbow room, and your body in bloom,
Am Dm G C
You've had your little backyard, protected by big walls,
Am Dm G C
You didn't dare look over, 'Cause you've been too small,
C
Well, you're finally sixteen, and you're feeling old,
C Dm C
But they won't believe that you've, got a soul, Whoa, whoa, no,
C
Cause you're only sixteen, and you're feeling real,
C Dm C
But you can't seem to, cop a feel, Whoa, whoa, no,
Am Dm G C
Why do they have to force us, through this metamorphose?
Am Dm G C
Little butterfly, no matter how you try,
Am Dm G C
You'll be segregated, you're gonna be closed off,
Am Dm G C
You're callow and you're green, cause you're caught between
C
Well, you're only sixteen, try to, cross the line,
C Dm C

But your little wings are, intertwined, Whoa, whoa, no,
C
You're only sixteen and you're such a tease,
C Dm C
and there's nothing you do to, really please, Whoa, whoa, no,
Interlude: C Dm C
Am Dm G C
You know you can't forsake it, so sit back and take it,
Am Dm G C
You see you're just not ripe, so don't try and fight,
C
That you're only sixteen, wanna, catch a peek,
C Dm C
But they look at you like you're, such a freak, Whoa, whoa, no,
C
Well, you're only sixteen, with a, lot to say,
C Dm C
But they won't give you the, time of day, Whoa, whoa, no,
C
You're only sixteen! (You're only sixteen!)
C
You're only sixteen! (You're only sixteen!)
Dm
You're only sixteen! (You're only sixteen!)
C C (fade out)
You poor little thing....
