Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything 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 house
To house her in, oh oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in
Will 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 older
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, oh oh
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 runaway child
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
Would do anything
There's the runaway child
Would do anything
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
I'll do anything
