Sixteen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know, I don't like dancin'
And I don't like to bop
Too much movement's exertion
Makes me wish I could drop
Dr-drop, dr-drop, dr-drop, drop

[Verse 2]
And I don't like French kissin'
'cause you swallow my tongue
And you think that you're oh-so-very old
You only want me 'cause you think I'm so young
Yo-young, yo-young, yo-young, young

[Hook]
Alright, okay, no way

[Verse 3]
And I wish I was 16 again
Then things would be such fun
All the things I'd do would be the same
But they're much more fun than when you're 21
1, 1, 1, 1

[Hook]
Alright, okay, no way
[Outro]
And I hate modern music
Disco, boogie, pop
They go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
How I wish they would stop

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
