Lyrics
Sixteen Years of a Really Bad Love
You ask the reason why I'm not fallin' in love
You ask me why I won't be your tender dove
But if you only knew what my heart has been through
You'd see why I'm slow with you
Yes, sixteen years of a love so bad
Sixteen years with a heart so sad
Yes, if you only knew what my heart has been through
You'd see why I'm slow with you
Oh, sixteen years of a really bad love got a hold of me
It really wasn't good for me
But I couldn't run
Sixteen years of a really bad love got a hold of me
It really wasn't true to me
It was no fun
You ask the reason why I'm afraid to give in
You ask me why I don't give my heart again
But if you come to know how he dealt it a blow
You'd see why I take it slow
Yes, sixteen years of a love untrue
Sixteen years full of heartache too
Yes if you come to know how he dealt it a blow
You'd see why I take it slow
Oh, sixteen years of a really bad love got a hold of me
It really wasn't good for me
But I couldn't run
Sixteen years of a really bad love got a hold of me
It really wasn't true to me
It was no fun
I really want to give you love
I really want to be your dove
I really want to show that I can care so much, so much, so much
But I tell you, sixteen years of a really bad love got a hold of me
It really wasn't good for me
But I couldn't run
Sixteen years of a really bad love got a hold of me
It really wasn't true to me
It was no fun
