Sixteen Going On Seventeen (maria And Liesl) Lyrics - Singles - The Sound Of Music

You wait, little girl, on an empty stage 

For fate to turn the light on 

Your life, little girl, is an empty page 

That men will want to write on, to write on 

You are sixteen going on seventeen 

Baby, it's time to think 

Better beware, be canny and careful 

Baby, you're on the brink 

You are sixteen going on seventeen 

Fellows will fall in line 

Eager young lads and rogues and cads 

Will offer you food 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 someone older and wiser 

Telling you what to do 

I am seventeen going on eighteen 

I'll take care of you 

I am sixteen going on seventeen 

I know that I'm naive 

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet 

And willingly I'll believe 

I am sixteen going on seventeen 

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
