16 going on 17 - Sound Of Music

LYRICS BELOW :D
[Rolf:]
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on

[Liesl:]
To write on

[Rolf:]
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you

[Liesl:]
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you

As a feminist I think that the stroy of Rolf and Liesl encourages independence as he eventually lets her down. It teaches the girls watching NOT to depend on men by showing that this was a mistake on the part of Leisl

Betty Draper finishing her child's ice cream :D

[Celia Mellow]

I love how loads of people are watching this because they are nearly 16 or are 16 :D I'm sixteen on the 20th!! <3 xxx

[ha0hahaha0ha]

Feminists are usually ugly cunts, sorry but true story.

[godiseverythingtaken]

This song is tongue in cheek. It becomes especially clear if you watch the actors during this scene. Liesl is clearly the one pulling the strings and the most comfortable.

[Maggermickjagger]

No way!? me too- may 12, 96?
