Only Sixteen Lyrics - The Wonderful World Of Sam Cooke - Sam Cooke

She was only sixteen, only sixteen 

But I loved her so 

She was too young to fall in love 

And I was too young to know 

We'd laugh and we'd sing 

And do the little things 

That made my heart glow 

But she was too young to fall in love 

And I was too young to know

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 

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 

(But why did you give your heart so fast?) 

Boy, it never will happen again 

(But you were a mere lad of sixteen) 

I've aged a year since then

And I was too young to know 

She was too young to fall in love 

And I was too young to know
