[Verse]
Anna on a memory
Sixteen too young to be
But she'd never loved before
Now she's feeling so unsure

[Verse 2]
Why me she gently cries
Your kiss took me by surprise
Too deep too good I'm gone
Never thought it could be wrong

[Chorus]
Sixteen too young it's true
In your arms I fell for you
Never knew love could be
Tangled up in you and me

[Verse 3]
Echoes of your voice remain
In my heart a sweet refrain
Too deep too good I'm lost
Love came at such a cost

[Bridge]
Why me she gently asks
In your love she wears no masks
Your kiss so deep so true
Feels like I’m stuck in glue

[Verse 4]
Now the days they pass so slow
In my heart a seed does grow
Sixteen too young for this
But I’m caught up in your kiss
