Sam Cooke - Only Sixteen Lyrics

She was only sixteen
Only sixteen but I loved her so
She was too young to fall in love and I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do funny things and it made our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love and I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen
Only sixteen
Oh
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love and I was too young to know

So why did I give my heart so fast
But it never will happen again
But I were a mere child of sixteen
Oh
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen
Only sixteen
Oh
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
