Sweet Sixteen

 

I’d do anything

For my sweet sixteen,

And I’d do anything

For a little runaway child

 

Gave my heart an engagement ring,

She took everything,

Everything I gave her

Oh, sweet sixteen

 

Built a moon

For a rocking chair,

I never guessed it would

Rock her far from here

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh

 

Someone’s building a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen

Someone’s building a candy brain

And filled it in

 

I’d do anything

For my sweet sixteen,

Oh, I’d do anything

For a little runaway child

 

Well, memories may burn you,

Memories grow older as people can

They just get colder

Like sweet sixteen

 

Well, I see it’s clear,

Baby, that you are

All through here

Oh, oh, oh, oh

 

Someone’s building a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen

Someone’s building a candy house

To house her in

 

Oh, oh

 

Someone’s building a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen

Someone’s building a candy brain

To house her in

 

And I’d do anything

For my sweet sixteen

Oh, I’d do anything

For a runaway girl

 

Yeah, sad and lonely and blue

Yea, gettin’ over you

How, how do you think it feels, yeah?

To get up in the morning, get over you.

Up in the morning, get over you.

Wipe away the tears, get over you, get over, get over

 

My sweet sixteen,

Oh, runaway child

Oh, sweet sixteen

Little runaway girl

 

Gave my heart an engagement ring,

She left everything,

Everything I gave her,

Sweet sixteen

 

Built a moon

For a rocking chair,

I never guessed it would

Rock her far from here

 

Yea, umm-hmm, oh, oh, oh

 

Someone’s building a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen

Someone’s building a candy house

To house her in

 

Oh

 

Someone’s building a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen

Someone’s building a candy house

To house her in

 

I’d do anything

For my sweet sixteen

I’d do anything

For a little runaway girl

 

I’d do anything

Oh, sweet sixteen

I’d do anything

A little runaway girl

 

Little runaway girl

 

Little sweet sixteen

Oh sweet sixteen

Oh sweet sixteen

Oh-oh-oh
