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, little woman

Oh, the sweetest thing I've ever seen

But I tell you what

You wouldn't do nothing

You wouldn't do anything I asked you to

Yes, you wouldn't do nothing for me, baby

Oh, you wouldn't do anything that I asked you to

You know you ran away from your home, baby

And now you wanna run away from old b. too

Let me tell you something

You know I love you

And 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

My sister's way down in New Orleans

Yeah, my brother's in Korea, baby

My sister's down, way 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

Well, you know I love you

And I'll do anything you tell me to

Yes, I will

Yes, you know I love you, baby

Baby, I love you

And I'll do anything you tell me to

There ain't nothing in the world now, woman

Baby, there ain't nothing

Nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you

Well, you can, you can treat me mean, baby

But I'll keep loving you just the same

You know I will

Well, you can treat me mean, baby

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

Oh, but one of these days now, baby

Yeah, I'm gonna get me a lot of money

Hear somebody call my name

Yeah, sweet sixteen, baby

Oh, sweet sixteen, sweetest thing I've ever seen

Oh, sweetest thing, baby

Oh, yeah, yeah, sweetest thing

Sweetest thing I've ever seen

Well, I've been having so much trouble, woman

Baby, I wonder, yes, I wonder

Baby, I wonder, yes, I wonder
