Does anyone know this 80's song that starts, "she was only sixteen"?

Question

i heard it on the radio. it's kind of a slow song.

Answer 1

I think it is the one that goes too young to know, too! The title is "Only 16" by Sam Cooke 1959 and re-recorded by Dr. Hook.... Yeah! (gal above me got it right!)

Answer 2

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - Only Sixteen

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing and do funny things
And it made our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, with eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

Now she was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, but I loved that girl so

But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Yes, she was too young to fall in love
And I, I was too young
I was much too young to know
