Sweet Sixteen

Reba Mcentire Sweet Sixteen Lyrics
1.Cathy's Clown

(don everly)

Chorus:
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's cathy's clown

You know you've got to stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let em pass you by
You're not a man at all

She don't want your loving anymore
She don't want your kisses that's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let em call you cathy's clown

When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that i'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treating you so bad
And i'm the one who cares

Repeat chorus

You're cathy's clown
You're cathy's clown


2.Till Love Comes Again

(bog regan,ed hill)

White light shadows gather around my door
They find me dreaming all alone once more
Memories come around to haunt my sleepless sounds
Now's the time i must be strong
I believe it won't be long

Chorus:
Till love comes again
To end these lonely nights
Till love comes again
To drive these tears i cry
It's darkest just before the dawn
And i'll just keep holding on
Till then
Till love comes again

Somewhere someone feels the way i do
And like me they dream of the love that's true
One day i'll look into his eyes i know the moment's right
Until then i'll just wait
No matter how long it might take

Repeat chorus

Oh until then
Till love comes again


3.It Always Rains On Saturday

(kendal franceschi,quentin powers,reba mcentire)

On monday the sun will be shining
On tuesday the weather was fine
Wednesday and thursday went by
By friday the clouds filled the sky

Dismorning i knew it would rain
The moment the telephone rang
I heard your voice and i knew
The sky turned a new shade of blue

Chorus:
And it looks like rain
It always rains on saturday
The dark clouds came
And the sunny days are gone away
This house feels so cold
It always feels like this when he goes away
There's really nothing new about the rain
It always rains on saturday

I look into billy's young smile
And watch him watch big bird a while
His daddy will be here by eight
Seems like the sky's turning grey
There's an overnight bag on the stairs
Beside a one eyed teddy bear
I hold billy and try not to cry
And whisper kiss mommy goodbye

Repeat chorus (it always feels like this when billy goes away)


4.Am I The Only One Who Cares

(don schlitz,reba mcentire)

Jamie turned 13 tonight
But she didn't blow out the birthday lights
Jamie and her momma had another big fight
She locked herself in her room

She climbed up on her windowsill
Sat and stared at the cars on the street
And listened to her own heart beat
And whispered to the moon

Am i the only one who cares what i do
Cause if i'm the only one then who can i turn to
Oh moon can you tell me that it's not just me and you
Or am i the only one who cares what i do

The moon said jamie can't you hear yourself
You're acting like there ain't nobody else
Come on girl take a big ole breath
You know what you gotta do

There's one more thing before i go
A woman's been standing at the window below
Searching for the words to let you know
How much she loves you too

And you're not the only one who cares what you do
And i'm not the only one that you can turn to
Now jamie please believe me
It's not just me and you
And i'm not the only one who cares
She cares too

Jamie heard her mama
Softly knocking at her door
The moon just smiled and whispered
You all don't need me anymore

I'm not the only one who cares what you do
And i'm not the only one you can tell your troubles to
I've done the best i can
Now the rest is up to you
And i'm not the only one who cares
You both care too
You both care too


5.Somebody Up There Likes Me

(suzi-hoskins-wills,bill cooley)

I can't get used to the hustle
I try to keep my actions straight
I get caught in the bustle
I do things i really hate

Just when i think i'm sinking
I hear a voice inside my head
Says don't do what you're thinking
Send your thoughts to me instead

Chorus:
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what i need
When my worldly head spins around
He sends his love down

You know i'm only human
That's all i always say
It's just excuses
So i can do things my own way
But when i fall and stumble
I know i will be saved
No my world won't crumble
I'll make it through the hardest days

Repeat chorus

I wish i'd known all along
But it's much better late
Than to never know you're wrong

Repeat chorus x2

He sends his love down
Somebody up there likes me


6.You Must Really Love Me

(don schlitz, reba mcentire)

Tell me why do you put up with my foolish ways
You never take to heart the crazy things i say
Oh i know you could walk out on me any day
There must be a darn good reason why you'd even want to stay

Chorus:
You must really love me
How can it be true
There are things you'll take from me
I won't even take from you
Everytime i fall apart
You always pull me through
You must really love me
As much as i love you
You must really love me
As much as i love you

I appreciate the honesty you've shown to me
And the way you tell your friends that you belong to me
And when you hold me tight it always sets me free
Oh this must be the way that true love was meant to be

Repeat chorus (and lord i'm glad you do)


7.Say The Word

Ooo say the word
And i'll be yours
Say the word
So i'll be sure
That what i'm feeling goes for both of us
I hate to hear you tell me what you feel is really love

Say the word
Open up
Say the word
What's the hold up
Before i go and give my heart away
I need to know i'm falling for a man who ain't afraid to

Chorus:
Say the word
It's just four little letters
And if you really mean it
You've got me forever
And i've got so much love for you
That all you gotta do
Is say the word

And i'll be there
Anytime, anywhere

Repeat chorus

And i'll be yours
So i'll be sure
Say the word
And i'll be there
Anytime, anywhere


8.Little Girl

(kendal franceschi, quentin powers)

Daddy used to tell me
If i ran too fast i'd fall and hurt myself
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And i'd get there before anyone else

I'd see a puppy in the window
And i'd run and press my face against the pane
And daddy'd say slow down girl
After all these years i guess nothing has changed

Chorus:
That little girl i knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Hey that's just like a little girl i knew

Back home there stands an old house
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree
I can almost see the backyard
And a little girl with freckles
That was me

And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and
Lord it seemed i wanted them so bad
Now 20 years have come and gone
And i'm still chasing things that i can't have

Repeat chorus

Yes, i'm still that little girl

Daddy i still haven't slowed down yet


9.Walk On

(steve dean, lonnie williams)

Oh ain't life wonderful
When everything is right
But sometimes wonderful
Can fall apart sometimes
When your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground and

Chorus:
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on

Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
But even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye
And don't you ever break your stride

Repeat chorus x2

Walk on
Walk on
Ohhh walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on


10.A New Love

(dave loggins)

Love's the only thing i know in this life
That's cut me deeper than the sharpest knife
And once again here i am and i'm paying the price for a new love
I still hurt the one i lost
Standing here on a bridge that i can't get across
And i can't burn but i will when i walk with a new love

Chorus:
I believe
It's gonna be better then ever before
Thats why i'm looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And i just can't wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when i find a new love
For this old heart of mine

Say i'm looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where i find a new love
For this old heart of mine

Love's the only thing that's ever made me cry
Nothing's ever made me feel more alive
Thats why once again here i am
Looking for the eyes of a new love

I know that somewhere in this world tonight
There's a guy (she goes high on this part and i have no clue
what she
Says)
I'd even look if i thought i might find a new love

Repeat chorus x2

Oh i'm looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine

Oh i'm looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine

Say i need a new love
For this old heart of mine

Oh i'm looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where i'll find
For this old heart of mine
