They're going to have to ban the Beatles too:

"Well she was just seventeen, you know what I mean, and the way she looked was way beyond compare ..."

'You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine." (A Ringo solo effort)

I can't see anything about touching in the lyrics of those songs. That seems to be the objection to 'Sweet Caroline' which was apparently inspired by a magazine cover photo of the young Caroline Kennedy on her pony. http://oldlifemagazines.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/v/cv090762.jpg

'You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine." (A Ringo solo effort)

"You're Sixteen" was a cover like most of Ringo's efforts. It was written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman & recorded in 1960 by Johnny Burnette.
