It was first performed by American rockabilly singer Johnny Burnette, whose version peaked at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 in December 1960 and number 3 in the UK in 1961.[2] The song was covered by Ringo Starr in 1973 and this version reached number one in the US.
You come on like a dream, peaches and cream Lips like strawberry wine You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine You're all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl Eyes that sparkle and shine You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine You're my baby, you're my pet We fell in love on the night we met You touched my hand, my heart went pop Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop You walked out of my dreams and into my arms Now you're my angel divine You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine You're my baby, you're my pet We fell in love on the night we met You touched my hand, my heart went pop Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop You walked out of my dreams, and into my car Now you're my angel divine You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine You're sixteen, so beautiful, and you're mine You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine All mine, all mine, all mine All mine, all mine, all mine
