Sixteen
Latasha Lee Lyrics

One, two, three, four
The beginning of the song’s narration, when the singer was sixteen.

He was only sixteen, only sixteen
The singer fell in love with a boy who was just sixteen years old.

I loved him so
The singer had very strong feelings for the sixteen-year-old boy.

But he was too young to fall in love
The sixteen-year-old boy was not mature enough to experience true love.

And I was too young to know
The artist was also too young to understand what love really means.

We'd laugh and we'd sing
The singer and the sixteen-year-old boy were very happy in each other’s company and did many activities together.

And do little things
They did small things for each other.

That made my heart glow
The things the artist and the boy did together filled her heart with joy.

But why-why did I give
The artist questions her decision to give her heart to someone who was too young to understand her feelings.

Never will it happen again
She regrets giving her heart to someone who didn't know how to handle it and doesn't want to make the same mistake again.

I was just a young a girl turning sixteen
The singer was still very young and inexperienced when she met the sixteen-year-old boy.

I became a grown woman since then
She has grown and matured since those early days of her youth.

With eyes that would glow (that would glow)
The sixteen-year-old boy had beautiful eyes that shone brightly.

I'm talking 'bout sixteen, sixteen
The singer is reminiscing about the time when she was sixteen and fell in love with the boy.

I remember when I used to crush on him
The singer still remembers the crush she had on the boy and how strongly she felt for him.

Pretty brown eyes with some beautiful skin
The artist describes the boy’s physical features that made her attracted to him.

Just a young girl, didn't have no sense
The artist admits that she was naive and didn't know much about love.

Wish I could've told myself to chill
The singer wishes she could have told herself to calm down and not get too attached to the boy.

I-I was much too young
The singer admits that she was still too young to understand the emotions she was experiencing.

This boy he had me sprung
The boy had a powerful hold over the artist's emotions.

With them pretty brown eyes I could never get enough
She couldn't resist the beautiful eyes of the boy.

Blowing kisses through the phone
The artist and the boy flirted with each other even when they were not physically present with each other.

Didn't wanna be alone
The singer didn't want to be alone and wanted to spend time with the boy.

Yeah, that's the reason why I reminisce on this song
The artist remembers those times because they were the happiest moments of her life.

I swear he had me gone
The boy had a strong hold on the singer's emotions and feelings.

Only-only sixteen having thoughts like I was grown
The singer was young, but she thought and acted like a mature adult when she was with the boy.

Even though we went two ways
The singer and the boy eventually went their separate ways.

His love I can't erase
The artist still has strong feelings of love for the boy.

I really miss them days
The artist misses the happy moments she spent with the boy when she was sixteen.
