You're sixteen going on thirty-two Confusion of age surrounding you Cigarette dangles from your painted lips You wear the shoe because it fits Put on your sneakers and be a kid Why don't you try and have some fun Put on your sneakers and be a kid You're not fooling anyone Why you wanna grow so old, so fast Let your teenage ignorance last Put away all those rings and chains Come back and enjoy the growing pains
Put on your sneakers and be a kid Why don't you try and have some fun Put on your sneakers and be a kid You're not fooling anyone, no When I saw you the other day You saw me but turned away Why didn't you try to acknowledge me Was it cause your date was thirty-three Put on your sneakers and be a kid Why don't you try and have some fun Put on your sneakers and be a kid You're not fooling anyone, no
