It Hurts To Be Sixteen:Andrea Carroll.
#45 on BB Hot 100 on BIG TOP Records
in 1963. (Chiffons are the back-up singers.)
(Great 'teen angst' song.)

(Rat-a-tang-rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang..
 rat-a-tang-rat-a-tang.)

#1.
The kids are singing loud (rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang) 
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen.
And so, I smile and hope (rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang)  
that my tears will not be seen.
Because I'm much too old to cry (too old to cry) 
but still too young to find out why (to find out why.)
Why I'm so lonely, it hurts to be sixteen.
(Rat-a-tang-rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang..rat-a-tang-rat-
 a-tang.)

#2.
Don't think that you're grown up (rat-a-tang-tu-tang-
tu-tang) when you become sixteen.
Because like me, you'll see (rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang)  
you're only in between.
They say that you're too old for toys (too old for toys)
But still you're much too young for boys (too young for 
boys) I hate to tell you, it hurts to be sixteen.

BRIDGE:
I found a wonderful guy (wonderful guy) I want to spend 

my life with him (spend my life with him.)
They say we're too young to start..they're driving us apart..
we're finished before we begin.

#3.
I can't keep smiling through (rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang)  
cause it hurts, sweet sixteen.
This party's over now (rat-a-tang-tu-tang-tu-tang) and you 

know what I mean.
To all of you who have shown up (who have shown up) come back 
next year when I've grown up (when I've grown up.)
But now please go, because it hurts to be sixteen.

(You know it hurts to be sixteen) you know it hurts.
(They say it hurts to be sixteen) I said it hurts.
(You know it hurts to be sixteen)(Fade.)

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
