Sweet sixteen
They say to me
As in my head
I've just turned three
Last year
It didn't last so long
Hey I can get married!
Something's wrong
Hello next day in paradise
Cross the street
But do think twice
Crying a river
For the child in me
Building a floodgate
For this sour sixteen

Loved this - all those thoughts of wanting to be grown up but yes, still wanting to be three.  I'm supposed to be sixty-four.   Actually around eight and a half, so I can go to the local shop on my own if I'm careful.
