  • I'm sixteen burstin' at the seams
    I'm back in my teens
    Caution to the wind, yeah
    You love me and what could be
    More rejuvenating, I am young again

    I'm sixteen, I'm sixteen
    Loving you's a dream
    And life is a breeze
    Kickin' up my heels
    Haven't had such thrills
    Since I was sixteen cruisin' round the Tasty Freeze

    It goes to show you're never old
    Unless you choose to be
    And I will be sixteen forever
    Just as long as you love me

    Baby, we can go to the drive-in show
    Drinking Cherry Coke and Concession Trees
    And maybe kiss and hug
    Doing all that stuff
    Always leading up
    To that old back seat

    I'm sixteen, yeah
    I'm sixteen, yeah
    We're in love
    Oh, happy days
    You and me, we are wild and free
    We'll go steady until your daddy takes the T-bird away

    It goes to show you're never old
    Unless you choose to be
    And I will be sixteen forever
    Just as long as you love me
    Watch me

    You and I take a little dive
    In the mill pond after midnight in our birthday suit
    Makin' sweet, sweet love
    Meet the stars above
    Sneakin' back in through the window
    'Fore the clock strikes two, yeah

    I'm sixteen, burstin' at the seams
    I'm back in my jeans
    And I feel no pain
    Kickin' up my heels
    Haven't had such thrills
    Since drivin' my old Chevy down Lovers' Lane

    It goes to show you're never old
    Unless you choose to be
    And I will be sixteen forever
    Just as long as you love me

    Yeah, I'm sixteen, yeah
    I'm sixteen, yeah
    I'm sixteen, yeah
    Caution to the wind
    I'm sixteen, I'm sixteen
    I'm sixteen, I feel young again

    I'm sixteen
    Don't I look sixteen?
    You don't have to say
    But I feel sixteen Writer/s: DOLLY PARTON
