[Intro]
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
I love you so
[Verse 1: Jermaine]
Sixteen candles
Make a lovely sight
But not as bright
As your hazel eyes
Blow out the candles, baby
Make a wish come true
Blow out three wishes
That you love me too
(That you love me too)
[Chorus: Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
You're only sixteen (Oh girl)
But you're my teenage queen (Sixteen)
But you're the prettiest and the loveliest girl
You're the loveliest I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
[Post-Chorus: Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
Sixteen candles
In my heart will glow
Forever and ever
Oh, I love you so (I love you so)
[Chorus: Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
You're only sixteen (Oh girl)
But you're my teenage queen (Sixteen)
But you're the prettiest and the loveliest girl
You're the loveliest I've ever seen (I've ever seen)
[Post-Chorus: Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
Sixteen candles
In my heart will glow
Forever and ever
Oh, I love you so
[Outro: Jermaine + Jackson 5]
Happy birthday
Happy birthday, baby
I love you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
Happy birthday
Happy birthday, baby
I love you so, baby, baby, baby, baby
Happy birthday
Happy birthday, baby
I love you so, oh oh oh oh
Happy birthday
Happy birthday, baby...
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
I love you so
[Verse 1: Jermaine]
