The six teens lyrics
by Sweet



Where were you in sixty-eight?
In sixty-eight Julie was Johnny's date
Two kids growin' together
Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away

Oh, they were just sixteen
And their love a teenage dream
They passed the time, they crossed the line
The line that ran between

(Julie and Johnny, now you've made it)

But life goes on
You know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens

And life goes on
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

Suzie and Davey got to make the big time
Maybe they can put it all together
In a show that lasts forever

Oh, they would walk the strip at nights
And dream they saw their name in lights
On Desolation boulevard
They'll light the faded light

(Suzie and Davey, you can make it)

But life goes on
You know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens

And life goes on
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens

So where were you in sixty-eight?
When Bobby and Billy thought
That sixty eight was out of date

They took the flowers from their hair
And tried to make us all aware
Too bad, too late

So they lived from day to day
And tried to do it all their way
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight
No matter what they say

(Bobby and Billy, maybe you'll make it one day)

But life goes on
You know it ain't easy
You've just gotta be strong
If you're one of the sixteens

And life (And life) goes on (Goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong (Go wrong)
'Cause you're all

And life (And life) goes on (Goes on)
You know, you know it ain't easy
You know you'll never go wrong (Go wrong)
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens
