[Intro]
I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
And I'll do anything
For little runaway child

[Verse 1]
Gave my heart an engagement ring
She took 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in

[Chorus]
Well, I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'll do anything
For little runaway child
[Verse 2]
Well, memories will burn you
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen
Oh, I see it's clear
Baby, that you are
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
And I do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I do anything
For little runaway girl
[Bridge]
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?

[Chorus]
My sweet sixteen
Oh, runaway child
Oh, sweet sixteen
Little runaway girl

[Verse 3]
Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Sweet sixteen
Built a moon
For a rocking chair
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here, yeah
Mm, mm, Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in
Oh, someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in
[Chorus]
And I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'll do anything
For this little runaway child
Do anything
For sweet sixteen
I'll do anything
For little runaway girl
Little runaway girl
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh
