Only Sixteen:Sam Cooke. #23 in 1959. #1. She was only sixteen only sixteen. I loved her so. But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know. #2. We’d laugh and we’d sing and do little things that made my heart glow. But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know. CHORUS: Why did I give my heart so fast? It never will happen again. But I was a mere lad of sixteen I’ve aged a year since then. #3. She was only sixteen only sixteen with eyes that would glow. But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know. CHORUS: Why did I give my heart so fast? It never will happen again. But I was a mere lad of sixteen I’ve aged a year since then. #4. She was only sixteen only sixteen with eyes that would glow. But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know. OUTRO: But she was too young to fall in love And I was too young to know.(x2)Fade. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
