Lyrics

Back then our house was in the middle of our street
Right there with the lovely dogs in suburbia
Oh, I'd sit alone when I watched your lights
The only friends of my lonely nights
Attached to a flimsy radio
Gimme, gimme, I said, gimme just a little smile
But she was really more like a frickin' beauty queen
Yet, there has to be an angel up where we belong
And I counted just another last and final countdown
I wanna be 16 again
Despite all of the burning pain
And all the tears I cried in vain
There was always someone else to blame
I wanna be 16 again
When life was drama every day
There weren't any bills to pay
'Cause I was dying anyway
I wanna be 16 again
Please let me be 16 again
Rising up back on the street I really liked Chopin
And I so longed to reach out
Time after time I dreamt that I just died
That I just died in her arms
Right then and there big in Japan
Forever and ever young seemed reasonable
Like ice in the sunshine did
With 99 red balloons
Wild boys never close their eyes
But girls just wanna have fun
Anyplace, anywhere, anytime
I wanna be 16 again
Despite all of the burning pain
And all the tears I cried in vain
There was always someone else to blame
I wanna be 16 again
When life was drama every day
There weren't any bills to pay
'Cause I was dying anyway
I wanna be 16 again
Please let me be 16 again
I'm going back in time
With or without you with Marty or Doc
The sultans of swing are with me
I'm lying down there on a bed of roses
Me, I'm the servant and you're
Clearly the master
You work hard for the money
In the moonlight shadow
And I'm saving all my love for...
I wanna be 16 again
Despite all of the burning pain
And all the tears I cried in vain
There was always someone else to blame
I wanna be 16 again
When life was drama every day
There weren't any bills to pay
'Cause I was dying anyway
I wanna be 16 again
Please let me be 16 again
I wanna be 16 again
Despite all of the burning pain
And all the tears I cried in vain
There was always someone else to blame
I wanna be 16 again
When life was drama every day
There weren't any bills to pay
'Cause I was dying anyway
I wanna be 16 again
I'd love to be 16 again
Endure all of the burning pain
And cry all of those tears again
I'll find someone to take the blame
Oh, can I be 16 again
Relive my drama everyday
Miss out on all those bills to pay
Don't want to die but, anyway
I wanna be 16 again
Please let me be 16 again
