Just wakin' up in the mornin’
And I'm thinkin' ’bout you baby
You're on my mind
Summer's almost over
And it's colder
And I know you're older baby
You're worth my time


Say you're still out of things
That you could show me
Gotta be honest
You don't even know me
’Cause I’m not that type of girl
To let you run my world
I'm just tryin’ to chill
I don't even know you better

16 candles
I light 16 candles
'Cause I know it's only right
Baby I light 16 candles
’Cause you wish we can do
Everything you want tonight
But I'm not ready and I hope you don't mind
Baby it's cool, we can take our time
If you want me like you say you want me
Then you'll agree you won't leave me lonely

16 candles
16 candles

Tell me where have you been
Ever since that one day
You stormed out of my crib
'Cause you didn't get your way
Oh what I shame boy
I know the game, I know the play
You ran it on somebody
But I'm not just anybody
Ah yeah

Thank you for showin' me your true colors baby
And to think I was almost about to be your lady
I don't carry no resentment towards you
This is what I do

16 candles
I light 16 candles
'Cause I know it's only right
Baby I light 16 candles
'Cause you wish we can do
Everything you want tonight
But I'm not ready and I hope you don't mind
Baby it's cool, we can take our time
If you want me like you say you want me
Then you'll agree you won't leave me lonely

(16 candles)
16 candles
I light 16 candles
'Cause I know it's only right
Baby I light 16 candles
'Cause you wish we can do
Everything you want tonight
But I'm not ready and I hope you don't mind
Baby it's cool, we can take our time
If you want me like you say you want me
Then you'll agree you won't leave me lonely

16, candles
