"Number Sixteen" lyrics - THE FLATLANDERS

I'll tell you something you don't know
Something I found out long ago
Something that's bothered you
It's alright babe, it bothered me too
But sometimes we catch on kinda slow

I think that you would know it's true
But maybe you'd not think so of you
But sometimes we must be told
Sometime before we get too old
An' that's all that I'm tryin' to do

I know how loneliness can burn
But that's only one thing you must learn
I know you're feelin' down
But there are things lower than the ground
Now you've got one more place to turn

So I'll tell you something you don't know
Something I found out long ago
Something that's bothered you
It's alright babe, it bothered me too
But sometimes we catch on kinda slow
