16 Lyrics by Jody Watley

Flower

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
Fell in love with a man that was so fine (So fine)
He made her promises, yeah
Didn't stop to think if he was serious
Until she had his baby
[Chorus]
Slow down, you're moving way too fast
16, there's so much for you ahead
Sweet 16, do you know where you're going to?
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Slow down, you're moving much 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?
[Outro]
At 16, do you know where you're running to?
Sweet 16, do you know where you're going to?
Sweet 16
