Lyrics Translation

You couldn't tell little Jackie nothin'
Sixteen thought she knew it all
She was searching for the love she missed yeah
And so she ran away

Slow down
You're moving way too fast
Sixteen
There's so much for you to have
Sweet Sixteen
Do you know where you're running to?
Do you know? Sweet Sixteen

She fell in love with a man who was so fine (so fine)
He made her promises yeah
She didn't stopped to think if he was serious no no no
Until she had his baby, sweet sixteen

Slow down
You're moving way too fast
Sixteen, there's so much for you ahead, oh
Sweet Sixteen Sweet Sixteen oh
Do you know where you're goin' to?
