Sam Cooke - Only Sixteen lyrics

rate me

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

But I loved her so

She was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing

and do funny things

And it made our hearts glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast

it never will happen again

But I was a mere child of sixteen

I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

oh with eyes that would glow

But she was too young to fall in love

and I was too young to know

(So why did I give my heart so fast)

But, it never will happen again

(But I were a mere child of sixteen)

Oh, I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

Oh but I loved that girl so

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

She was too young to fall in love

And I, I was too young, I was much too young know
