Sixteen and oh so pretty
Gets down to the nitty gritty
She's all over the scene
In movies and magazines

Everybody knows her name but
She sits in a pile of shame
Her friends on the ground
She's looking down in jealously

She wants to run
But there's nowhere to hide
Her name is hang up on the northeast lights
Give her a break
She feels the knot on her spleen
My God, she's only sixteen

Gets up at five am
Just in time to get there inset
Three hours of sleep
Not much for a teen

Artificial strands of hair glued to her
She's unaware her dad won't leave
She pays the bills so they can eat

She wants to run
But there's nowhere to hide
Her name is hang up on the northeast lights
Give her a break
She feels the knot on her spleen
My God, she's only sixteen

I didn't want his life
I didn't want his life
I didn't want his life

I want my freedom
Give me my freedom
Give me my freedom

I'm young

I'm only sixteen
Living in the Hollywood sea
I'm only sixteen
