sweet 16

written by idha övelius

when i was young, i didn't dream
i never thought i would turn sixteen
i stand at heaven's gate and sing
but they say they can't let me in

sweet sixteen

i married young to grow up fast
i heard them whisper, "it won't last"
but i don't mind what people say
we turn around and walk away

but no-one can hold me down
because i get around

my grandma calls it sweet sixteen
i don't know just what she means
i don't think that she remembers
endless schooldays in december

sweet sixteen

the years go faster than before
i don't know what i want no more
i spend my days just wasting time
the time i spend is always mine

but no-one can hold me down
because i get around
no, no-one can hold me down
i always get around

sweet sixteen
