For a rocking chair
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in

Will do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'll do anything
For little runaway child

Well, memories will burn you
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen

Oh, I see it's clear
Baby, that you are
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in, oh oh

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in

And I do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I do anything
For little run away girl.

Yeah, sad and lonely and blue
Yeah, gettin' over you
How, how do you think it feels? Yeah

To get up in the morning, get over you
Up in the morning, get over you
Wipe away the tears, get over you
Get over, get over

My sweet sixteen
Oh, runaway child
Oh, sweet sixteen
Little runaway girl

Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Sweet sixteen

Built a moon
For a rocking chair
Never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in

And I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Would do anything
There's the runaway child

Would do anything
For my sweet sixteen
I'll do anything
For little runaway girl

Little runaway girl
Sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh
