Your body aches from all the alcohol you drank
But you tell yourself that you're still in control
And this chick's been talking for so long about herself
That you hope all of this listening pays off soon
Well, you heard that this was easy
And you understand that every man has
A certain set of things he has to prove
You were only sixteen
And you told yourself that you're still in control

About an hour ago
And when you did not fear what you did not know
You went upstairs to get what you've been waiting for
You took three deep breaths and held her hand real tight
You wished to take it slow and turn off the light
You wonder if she's done this kind of thing before
This kind of thing before
Sixteen candles
Are on this bed tonight
And with every piece of clothing you take off they die
These sixteen candles
Will burn out tonight
And the fire won't rekindle
Once the last flame dies
You wake up full for sure
That something is amiss
You wake up full for sure
The light beside the bed is on
Your stomach hurts, your pants are gone
The bits and pieces of the night fade in and out
You just can't comprehend
So you go and ask a friend
You said you saw you go upstairs
A girl with darkish brownish hair
That you sort of, kind of, don't really remember
You said you saw you go upstairs
You said you saw your little one
Do you remember?
Sixteen candles
Are on this bed tonight
And with every piece of clothing you take off they die
These sixteen candles
Will burn out tonight
And the fire won't rekindle
Once the last flame dies
Do you remember?
You were only sixteen about an hour ago
And while you did not fear what you did not know
You went upstairs to get what you've been waiting for
You took three deep breaths, another hand went outside
You let her take it slow and took off the lights
You wonder if she's done this kind of thing before
This kind of thing before
Sixteen candles are on this bed tonight
And with every piece of clothing you take off they die
Sixteen candles will burn out tonight
And the fire won't rekindle once the last flame dies
