Sweet Sixteen Lyrics

Sweet Sixteen


You couldn’t tell lil’ Jackie nothin
Sixteen thought she knew it all
She was seaching for the love she missed yea
So she ran away.

Slow down

You’re moving way to fast
Sixteen
There’s so much for you ahead

Chorus:
Sweet Sixteen
do you know where you’re running to ?

Do you know, Sweet sixteen

She feel in love with a man
who was so fine
He made her promises yea
She didn’t stop to think if he was serious
No no no
until she had his baby , Sweet sixteen

Slow down

You’re moving way to fast

Sixteen

Theres so much for you ahead

(CHORUS)

Bridge:
Sixteen years (mm hmmm)
Sixteen prayers(wha wha)
Sixteen reasons why i care(yea yea)
Sixteen tears (uh huh)
You’re sixteen still(uh huh)
Sweet sixteen
GURLLLLLLLLLL !

I know you’re feeling lonley
(i know you feelin lonely)

Who ya gonna turn to
(Who ya 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
Slow down..
You’re moving way to fast
You’re only sixteen
There’s so much more to life ahead

(CHORUS)

Sweet sixteen gurl i know
I gets hot
so take it slow

Sweet sixteen , at sixteen (do you know where you’re going to )

(repeat till end)

I can't believe no one commented on this song! This is one of their best songs to me because of the message. So many girls feel unloved at home and find affection from an older man who uses them. This song is so sad and I know it describes the predicament of a lot of young women out there.

I love this whole CD because I was a teenager just like them when this CD came out and there are so many songs on this CD that I relate to (I think a lot of teenage girl can relate to "Stay")

I also like the part where they go "Giiiirl. I know ya feeling lonely. . . "

A beautiful and meaningful song. Unfortunately, Beyonce didn't sing lead, so they didn't make it a single. Coincidence, anybody?
