Sweet Sixteen

When I first met you, baby

Baby, you were just sweet sixteen

Yes, when I first met you, baby

Baby, you were just sweet sixteen

You just left your home then, woman

Ah, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen

But you wouldn't do nothing, baby

You wouldn't do anything I asked you to

Yes, you wouldn't do nothing, baby

Oh, you wouldn't do anything I asked to

You know you ran away from your home, baby

And now you wanna run away from old B. too

You know I loved you

I loved you before I could call your name

Oh, you know I loved you, baby

Baby I loved you, I loved you before I could call your name

Well, it seems like everything I do now, baby

Everything I do is in vain

My brother's in Korea, baby

Sister's down in New Orleans

Yes, brother's in Korea, baby

Lord, sister, sister's down in New Orleans

Well, you know I'm having so much trouble, woman

Baby, I wonder what in the world is gonna happen to me

You know I love you

And I'll do anything you tell me to

Yes, you know I love you, baby

Baby, I like you and I'll do anything you tell me to

Well, there ain't nothing in the world, woman

Babe, it ain't nothing, nothing in the world I wouldn't do it for you

You can treat me mean, baby

But I'll keep on loving you just the same

Well, you can treat me mean, baby

Well, I'll keep on loving you, I'll keep on loving you just the same

Whoa, but one of these days, baby

You're gonna give a lot of money to hear someone call my name

Yes, sweet sixteen baby...

Sweet sixteen...

Yes, the sweetest thing, the sweetest thing, baby

The sweetest thing, baby

Yes, the sweetest thing, the sweetest thing I ever seen

You know I'm having so much trouble, woman

Baby I wonder, yes I wonder

Baby I wonder, yes I wonder

Baby I wonder, oh

I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
