You couldn't tell lil' Jackie nothin' Sixteen thought she knew it all She was searchin' for the love she missed yeah And so she ran away
Chorus: Slow down You're movin' way to fast Sixteen There's so much for you ahead Sweet Sixteen Do you know where you're running to? Sweet Sixteen
She fell in love with a man who was so fine And he made her promises She didnt stop to think if he was serious Until she had his baby Sweet Sixteen
Chorus
Feel like you've got nowhere to go
Bridge: Sixteen years sixteen prayers Sixteen reasons why I care Sixteen tears You're sixteen still Sweet sixteen girl
I know you're feelin' lonely Who you gonna turn to Feels like the world's closin' in on you Sweet sixteen You need to cherish what you have You can forget about the past Now you can start all over You can start all over and Cherish your life
