Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah-yah

I'm sittin' all alone and feelin' blue
I'm wond'ring if he found somebody new
Whoever thought that I'd be goin' through
Heartaches at sweet sixteen

Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah-yah

He wouldn't speak to me at school today
He made me sure to look the other way
What did I do to him, what did I say
Oh, these heartaches at sweet sixteen

Can (Yah-yah-yah-yah) I (Yah-yah-yah-yah)
Make him care at all
I'll (Yah-yah-yah-yah) die (Yah-yah-yah-yah)
If he doesn't call

No matter how my parents tease and laugh
I'll wear his ring and kiss his photograph
They just don't understand or know the half
Of heartaches at sweet sixteen

Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah-yah
Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah-yah

No matter how my parents tease and laugh
I'll wear his ring and kiss his photograph
They just don't understand or know the half
Of heartaches at sweet sixteen
(Yah-yah-yah-yah, yah-yah-yah-yah)
Heartaches at sweet sixteen
