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
Slow down, your moving way to fast
Sixteen, there's so much for you ahead
Sweet sixteen, do you know where your running too, do youknow
Sweet sixteen
She fell in love with a man who was so fine (so fine)
He made her promises
She didn't stop to think if he was serious
Until she had his baby
Sweet sixteen
Slow down how, your moving way to fast
Sixteen, there's so much for you ahead, oh
Sweet sixteen,sweet sixteen, do you know where your going too
Feel like you've got no where to go
Sixteen years
Sixteen prayers
Sixteen reasons why I care
Sixteen tears
Your sixteen still
Sweet sixteen, girl
I know your feeling lonely
Who your gonna turn to
Feels like the world closing in, on you, on you
Sweet sixteen
You need to cherish what you have
You can forgot about the pas
Now you can start all over
And cherish your life
Slow down, your moving way too fast
You are only sixteen, there's so much more to life ahead, whoa!
Sweet sixteen,sweet sixteen,do you know where your running too
Sweet sixteen, girl I know,it gets hard so take it slow
Sweet sixteen,sweet sixteen,do you know where your going too
Ba ba ba ba
At sixteen, do you know where your going too
Slow down, do you know where your going too
Sweet sixteen
At sixteen
