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 roues 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.
