Sweet Sixteen

Will you do anything
for your sweet sixteen
Will you keep a keen eye
for a candy man lie
hold her close
like each hour 
is your last

or you'll die!

She's sweet sixteen
a runaway queen
if you're not super keen
years fly in between

Climb under any wall
swim every river
turn over every rock
on her heart to knock
let no one take
your sweet sixteen
your little dream

She's sweet sixteen
a runaway queen
if you're not super keen
years fly in between

Hold her close
never just suppose
she'll be there 
when your not
if you've lost the plot
make your apologies
make it quick if you please

She's Sweet Sixteen
a runaway Queen
if you're not super keen
years fly in between

Years fly in between
where someone else has been
if you find her again
pain will wash in the rain
but why wait
for what does it gain?

She's Sweet sixteen
a runaway queen
if you're not super keen
years fly in between

Sometimes you don't get them back!
sometimes you never see your sweet sixteen, runaway teen, runaway teen, lost an lonely runaway queen!
