Sweet Sixteen - Jerry Williams

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.

Built a 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, memories will burn you.

Memories grow older as people can

They just get colder

Like sweet sixteen

Oh, I see it’s clear

Baby, that you are

All through here

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Someone’s built a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen,

Someone’s built a candy house

To house 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 and 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

Built a moon

For a rocking chair,

Never guessed it would

Rock her far from here

Oh, oh, oh Someone’s built a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen.

Someone’s built a candy house

To house her in.

Someone’s built a candy castle

For my sweet sixteen

Someone’s built a candy house

To house 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

Oh.
