Sweet Sixteen Lyrics
[Verse 1: LaTavia, with LeToya]
You couldn't tell little Jackie nothing
Sixteen, thought she knew it all
She was searching for the love she missed, yeah
And so, she ran away
[Pre-Chorus: Destiny's Child / LaTavia / LeToya]
Slow down
You're moving way too fast
Sixteen
There's so much for you ahead
[Chorus: Destiny's Child / (Kelly)]
Sweet sixteen
Do you know where you're running to?
(Do you know, sweet sixteen?)
[Verse 2: Beyoncé / (LeToya)]
She fell in love with a man who was so fine (So fine!)
He made her promises, yeah
She didn't stop to think if he was serious, no no no
Until she had his baby
Sweet sixteen, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé, with Destiny's Child]
Slow down
You're moving way too fast
Sixteen
There's so much for you ahead, oh
You couldn't tell little Jackie nothing
Sixteen, thought she knew it all
She was searching for the love she missed, yeah
And so, she ran away
[Pre-Chorus: Destiny's Child / LaTavia / LeToya]
Slow down
You're moving way too fast
Sixteen
There's so much for you ahead
[Chorus: Destiny's Child / (Kelly)]
Sweet sixteen
Do you know where you're running to?
(Do you know, sweet sixteen?)
[Verse 2: Beyoncé / (LeToya)]
She fell in love with a man who was so fine (So fine!)
He made her promises, yeah
She didn't stop to think if he was serious, no no no
Until she had his baby
Sweet sixteen, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé, with Destiny's Child]
Slow down
You're moving way too fast
Sixteen
There's so much for you ahead, oh
[Chorus: Destiny's Child / (Beyoncé)]
Sweet sixteen (Sweet sixteen, oh)
Do you know where you're running to? (You feel like you've got nowhere to go)
[Bridge: Beyoncé]
Sixteen years (Mm-hmm)
Sixteen prayers (What, what?)
Sixteen reasons why I care (Uh-huh, yeah, yeah)
Sixteen tears (Uh-huh)
You're sixteen still (Yeah, yeah)
You're sweet sixteen, girl!
I know you're feelin' lonely (I know you're feelin' lonely)
Who you gonna turn to? (Who you gonna turn to, yeah?)
Feels like the world's closin' in on you (On you)
At sweet sixteen (On you)
You need to cherish what you have
You can forget about the past
Now you can start all over, you can start all over and
Cherish your life
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé, with Destiny's Child]
Slow down
You're moving way too fast
You're only sixteen
There's so much more to life ahead, oh
Sweet sixteen (Sweet sixteen, oh)
Do you know where you're running to? (You feel like you've got nowhere to go)
[Bridge: Beyoncé]
