Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I want to be
Who that is I don't really care

'Cause I've got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

[Chorus]
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen

Drivin' down to the club where we go to dance
Radio is blastin' and the top is down

There ain't nothing' in my way
'Cept the traffic of L.A.

And I've got friends who love me
Bright stars shine above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

[Chorus]

Mama loves me and a sister who shows me, and a daddy's always there

[Chorus]

I want to know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen

[Chorus]

    General Comment:Why the fuck is everyone so god damn pestimistic? It's stupid and immature. I'm turning 16 tomorrow, and my God, I haven't been able to stop listening to this song since I found it. Do I LIKE Hilary Duff? No, not really. But her songs are fun. Get over yourselves.

    General Comment:Really, being 16 doesn't mean you're going to see an inside view of what the real world is like, in the way this song implies. You're still a stupid high schooler, and most likely a lower classman at that. Everybody hates the freshmen, but sophmores can be just as bad. Nothing will change.

    General Comment:Okay, calm down everyone. I'm not a fan of Hilary Duff and this is the only song I've ever heard (because it was used in a YouTube video I was just watching), and I admit it's far from great. But Hilary Duff seems like a nice girl! She was really nice when she was on Punk'd.

    And anyway, she's WAY better than Lindsey Lohan!

    General Comment:And sixteen doesn't freaking mean anything anymore. You can't even drive in most states now at sixteen. It doesn't mean anything except for having a ridiculous frivolous party.
