I’m Sixteen Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, yeah

Doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, yeah

I′m 16, 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, yeah

I'm 16, I'm 16
Lovin′ you is a dream and life is a breeze
Kickin′ up my heels, haven't had such thrills
Since I was 16, cruisin′ round the Tasty Freeze


It goes to show you're never old unless you choose to be
And I will be 16 forever
Just as long as you love me

Baby, we can go to the drive-in show
Drinkin′ Cherry Coke and Concession Trees
And maybe kiss and hug, doin' all that stuff
Always leadin′ up to that old back seat, yeah

I'm 16, yeah
I'm 16, yeah
We′re in love, oh, happy days, yeah
You and me, we are wild and free
We′ll go steady 'til our daddy takes the T-bird away

It goes to show you′re never old unless you choose to be
And I will be 16 forever just as long as you love me

Hey, watch, hey
You and I, take a little dive
In the mill pond after midnight in our birthday suit
A-makin' sweet, sweet love
Meet the stars above
Sneakin′ back in through the window 'fore the clock strikes two, yeah


I′m 16, 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 16 forever just as long as you love me

Yeah, I′m 16, yeah
I'm 16, yeah
I′m 16, yeah
Caution to the wind (yeah, yeah)
I'm 16, I'm 16 (uh-huh)
I′m 16, I feel young again, yeah

I′m 16, don't I look 16?
You don′t have to say
But I feel 16, yeah (uh-huh)
I'm 16, I′m 16 (ooh, yeah)

(I'm 16) doo-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
(I′m 16) doo-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo, yeah
(I'm 16) doo-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
(I'm 16) doo-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
(I′m 16) doo-doo-doo-doo, too-doo-doo
