Lyrics Orla Gartland

Orla Gartland

Sixteen

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 young 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

Here she goes again

Oh no, here she goes again

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
