Sweet Sixteen

I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
And I'll do anything
For little run away child
Gave my heart an engagement ring
She took ev'rything
Ev'rything I gave her
Oh, sweet sixteen
Beauty Moon
For a rocking chair
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in
Well I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh I'll do anything
For little runaway child
Well, all memories look for you
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen
Oh, I seem it's clear
Babe, that you're my
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built in candy house
To hold her in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in
And I do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I do anything
For little run away girl
Yeah! Sad, lonely and blue
Yeah! 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
Beauty Moon
For a rocking chair
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built in candy house
To hold her in
Oh, someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built in candy house
To hold her in
And I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'll do anything
For little runaway child
Do anything
For my sweet sixteen
I'll do anything
For little runaway girl
Little runaway girl
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
Ooooh
