Verse 1
At 16
You took the bus into the city
At 16
You didn’t know you could be pretty
You’re standing in the square
The young men stop and stare
At 16
No place to go, but you don’t care
Chorus
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
You’ll surely learn how to fly
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
You’ll surely learn how to fly
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
Verse 2
At 16
You’re pay’s too low, your shift is too long.
At 16
You tell yourself you’ve got to be strong.
Ah, but late at night
When you’re not uptight
At 16
You dance with joy, your eyes are bright.
Chorus
Verse 3
At 16
You hear the music play in your head
At 16
You quit that job that leaves you half dead.
You dance in clubs and bars
You sing and play guitar
At 16
Sometimes you feel like you’re a star.
Last Chorus
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
You’ll surely learn how to fly
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
Oh Melissa, just spread your wings
You’ll surely learn how to fly
Oh Melissa, you’ll surely learn how to fly
How to fly.
