Sixteen Years

Mama always called me

Her little girl

She always told me

I'd grow and be someone's world

And it's killing me to live

Every waking moment

Wonderin' if he'll ever come around



I was never the perfect daughter

And I will never be the one to wear a crown

I don't know my dad and I'm sure not his angel

I will never be the talk of the town.



I'm a sixteen year old, average girl

Waitin for someone to brighten my world

I have brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses

I dance and I do well in all my classes

I'm the one no one ever missed

I'm sixteen and never been kissed.



I have secrets no one needs to know

And feelings inside I want to show

I'd give up anything to be more like her

But for the chance to love him, I'm not so sure

I'm not the girl that will put up a fight

And I don't know how to make things right

I'm not the girl he is looking for

But if only I could be more

Than just a...



Sixteen year old, average girl

Waitin on someone to brighten my world

I have brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses

I've seen you throw your touchdown passes

But you've only ever seen right through me

I guess this is how it's meant to be

I guess I was wrong about all of this

I'm sixteen and never been kissed



Why does Romeo have to take so long

Or could mama have been wrong



Walking the streets alone on a winter day

I bumped into a stranger coming my way

He had brown hair, blue eyes, and a smile

It lit up the streets for miles and miles

I never guessed he'd be the one



I'm a sixteen year old, average girl

And I'm in love with the man who rules my world

We go everywhere together

We sing, we laugh, and have fun together

He means everything to me

God, this is how it's supposed to be

I'm glad I never quit

I'm sixteen and he's my first kiss.
