To write on

Better beware, be canny and careful, baby, you're on the brink

Eager young lads and roues and cads will offer you food and wine
C            C                G7              C  
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men

Am        D        G                      Am7       A7  D7   
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet, and willingly I believe
G            D7                  G             Em7 A9
I am sixteen going on seventeen, innocent as a rose
Am                G                     Am7       D       G     
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies, what do I know of those?
C            C             G7              C  
Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men
C                 C              G        E9      A7 D7
Timid and shy and scared am I of things beyond my ken
G              D7               G                  Cm
I need someone older and wiser, telling me what to do
