Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Oh, sweet sixteen
I said, I built a rocking chair
I never guessed it could
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone took that candy girl
And drew her in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone took that candy girl
And drew her in
I'd do anything
For my sweet sixteen
I'd do anything
For that runaway child
See, a memory can burn you
A memory gets colder as people can
They just get older
Said sweet sixteen
Oh, I see it's clear
My baby, that you are
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone took that candy girl
And drew her in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone took that candy girl
And drew her in
Well, I'd do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Yes, I'd screw anything
For that runaway child
And I say
I get up in the morning, sweat over you
I get up in my morning, sweat over you
Get up in my morning, sweat over
Get my leg over, leg over
Sweet sixteen
That runaway child
Oh, sweet sixteen
Runaway girl
Gave my heart an engagement ring
She took everything
Everything I gave her
Sweet sixteen
Said a moon
For a rocking chair
I never guessed it could
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone built a candy brain
And took it in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone took that candy girl
And drew her in
And I'd do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'd do anything
For that runaway child
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
I'd do anything
Mm-mm-mm
