Song: Sweet Sixteen

Sweet sixteen


You couldn't tell little jackie nothing
Sixteen, thought she knew it all
(she was searching for the love she missed yeah)
And so she ran away

(chorus)
(slow down)
You're moving way too fast
(sixteen)
There's so much for you ahead
Sweet sixteen
Do you know where you're running to

She fell in love with a man who was so fine (so fine)
He made her promises, yeah
She didn't stop to think if he was serious
(no, no, no)
Until she had his baby
Sweet sixteen
(chorus)


Sixteen years, sixteen prayers
Sixteen reasons why i care
Sixteen tears, you're sixteen still
Sweet sixteen (girl)

I know you're feeling lonely
Who you gonna turn to
Just like the worlds closing in on you
Sweet sixteen
You need cherish what you have
You can forget about the past
Now you can start all over, you can start all over again
And cherish your life
(chorus)


Sweet sixteen
Do you know where you're going to
Ba ba ba ba ba

At sixteen
Do you know where you're going to
Slow down
Do you know where you're going to

Sweet sixteen
At sixteen
Sweet sixteen
