You're Sixteen Lyrics
HO!
YOU COME ON LIKE A DREAM, PEACHES AND CREAM,
LIPS LIKE STRAWBERRY WINE.
YOU'RE SIXTEEN, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU'RE MINE. (mine, all mine)
YOU'RE ALL RIBBONS AND CURLS, OOH, WHAT A GIRL,
EYES THAT SPARKLE AND SHINE.
YOU'RE SIXTEEN, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU'RE MINE.
(Mine, all mine, mine, mine)
YOU'RE MY BABY, YOU'RE MY PET,
WE FELL IN LOVE ON THE NIGHT WE MET.
YOU TOUCHED MY HAND, MY HEART WENT POP,
OOH, WHEN WE KISSED, I COULD NOT STOP.
YOU WALKED OUT OF MY DREAMS, INTO MY ARMS,
NOW YOU'RE MY ANGEL DIVINE.
YOU'RE SIXTEEN, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU'RE MINE.
YOU'RE MY BABY, YOU'RE MY PET,
WE FELL IN LOVE ON THE NIGHT WE MET.
YOU TOUCHED MY HAND, MY HEART WENT POP,
OOH, WHEN WE KISSED, I COULD NOT STOP.
YOU WALKED OUT OF MY DREAMS, INTO MY CAR,
NOW YOU'RE MY ANGEL DIVINE.
YOU'RE SIXTEEN, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU'RE MINE.
YOU'RE SIXTEEN, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU'RE MINE.
YOU'RE SIXTEEN, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU'RE MINE.
ALL MINE, ALL MINE, ALL MINE.
ALL MINE, ALL MINE, ALL MINE.
ALL MINE, ALL MINE, ALL MINE, ALL MINE, BUT I DO.
YOU ARE MINE!
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SAILOR?

why the hell doesnt anybody post for ringo?! i love this song!
Nice, simple, fun song. When I sing it to myself though I change "You're sixteen..." to "You're a tween..."
I didn't really know that he was the one who sings this...I've known this since I was a child.
This song strikes me as almost a little bit creepy, because I picture a grown man singing this to a sixteen-year-old girl. He sort of emphasizes how young she is (peaches and cream, ribbons and curls) and is pretty possessive (you're mine, you're my pet). The last line is "you are mine," and it's kind of...aaagh. Am I overthinking things? Probably.
The protagonist is probably that age too. Ringo just sings it the first person.

Kaeorin, I sorta agree with you. My sister said the same thing.

I feel like he wrote this song in the 50s... that is why he is singing about a 16 year old girl
