Henry Gross - The Sweetest Sixteen lyrics

You're cooking with fire, shakin' and bakin' Proving the world is yours for the takin' Following the recipe's good advice But you like to add some sugar and spice You're the sweetest sixteen, almost grown Already ready to stand on your own A true earth angel, all that heaven will allow You're an open book, a freewheeling spirit If there's a song in the air you wanna hear it You've got the eyes of a child With the soul of a rolling stone You're the sweetest sixteen anybody has ever known A big city girl, at home in the country You like the finer things but love the cool and funky A mellow wild flower, an early bloomer With a generous heart and a great sense of humor You're the sweetest sixteen, almost grown Already ready to stand on your own A true earth angel, all that heaven will allow You're an open book, a freewheeling spirit If there's a song in the air you wanna hear it You've got the eyes of a child With the soul of a rolling stone You're the sweetest sixteen anybody has ever known Everywhere you go you leave ‘em wanting more You charm the lock off every door ‘Cause you've always got a helping hand to lend You already know how to be a forever friend You're the sweetest sixteen, almost grown Already ready to stand on your own A true earth angel, all that heaven will allow You're an open book, a freewheeling spirit If there's a song in the air you wanna hear it You've got the eyes of a child With the soul of a rolling stone You're the sweetest sixteen anybody has ever known
