16 - Jody Watley

You couldn’t tell little Jackie nothing

16, thought she knew it all

She was searching for the love she missed, yeah

And so she ran away

Slow down, you’re moving way too fast

16, there’s so much for you ahead

Sweet 16, do you know where you’re running to

Fell in love with a man that was so fine

He made her promises, yeah

Didn’t stop to think if he was serious

Until she had his baby

Slow down, you’re moving way too fast

16, there’s so much for you ahead

Sweet 16, do you know where you’re running to

Sweet 16 on your own

And you’re feeling all alone

Don’t know what to do

So at 16, live your life

Mothers, fathers, teach them right

Show them how to cherish life

Slow down, you’re moving way too fast

16, there’s so much of life ahead

Sweet 16, do you know where you’re running to

Sweet 16, do you know where you’re going to

At 16, do you know where you’re running to

Sweet 16, do you know where you’re going to

Sweet 16
