Only Sixteen

Only Sixteen - Sam Cooke

Written by：Cooke

Only sixteen only sixteen

Only sixteen only sixteen

She was only sixteen only sixteen

I loved her so

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing

And do the little things

That made my heart glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

Too young

Why did I give my heart so fast

It never will happen again

But I was a mere lad of sixteen

I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen only sixteen

With eyes that would glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know too young

Why did I give my heart so fast

It never will happen again

Cause I were a mere lad of sixteen

I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen only sixteen

With eyes that would glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

But she was too young to fall in love
