The Stingers - She's My Only 16 Lyrics

She’s my only sixteen

And I sit and wonder why
She’s my only sixteen
Yes I’ll always wonder why
She’s my only sixteen

She left alone from the high school dance
Said she was looking for cheap romance
So I gave her my cell number
Oh baby call me whenever you please
And say these words with such sweet release
I am waiting at my back window

Do you like me? She asks
I don’t know
I just like the change you put on me
And then she smiles and says such
Wanting words (like)
Could you read me some Whitman?
Could you take me to the pictures
Or could we just go for a stroll?

Some of my friends say that it’s no good
To date this girl from the neighborhood
But I tell them that love’s not forever
You need a girl with intellect
Don’t undermine your self-respect
But these words they say bring us together

Will you like me when I
Grow old
I just like the way you feel on me
And then she turns and touches
Soft and slow (and says)
Could you paint my portrait?
Could you sing me some Sam Cooke?
Or could we just lie on the floor?
