And she was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen
Her head was filled with fairydust and gold
She never did what she was told
But she knew what she wanted from a very early age
Didn't care about a job or give a damn about a wage
She just wanted him, and she wanted him for good
She would do whatever it took, whatever she could
And now she can't stop loving him she never meant to start
But what else can you expect from a foolish heart
And she was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen
Age is but a number she would say and she'd believe
But four years is way too long to wear your heart on your sleeve
And she thought maybe it's time to move on, it's been too long romance is gone,
Sung is the song and now this feels all wrong
And in a world of advice she feels so small
Someone better tell this girl it's probably not love at all
And she was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen
Oh no, here she goes again, here she goes again
And she got what she wanted when he returned her love
Everything was cosy he fit her like a glove
She always dreamt of things she never had though she knew that it was wrong
He blinked and she blinked and suddenly thirty years were gone
They remembered all the times that she
was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen
