16

You couldn't tell little Jackie nothing
16, thought she knew it all
She was searching for the love she missed, yeah
And so she ran away

Slow down, you're moving way too fast
16, there's so much for you ahead
Sweet 16, do you know where you're running to

Fell in love with a man that was so fine
He made her promises, yeah
Didn't stop to think if he was serious
Until she had his baby

Slow down, you're moving way too fast
16, there's so much for you ahead
Sweet 16, do you know where you're running to

Sweet 16 on your own
And you're feeling all alone
Don't know what to do
So at 16, live your life
Mothers, fathers, teach them right
Show them how to cherish life

Slow down, you're moving way too fast
16, there's so much of life ahead
Sweet 16, do you know where you're running to
Sweet 16, do you know where you're going to

At 16, do you know where you're running to
Sweet 16, do you know where you're going to

Sweet 16
Sweet 16
