"Sweet Sixteen" lyrics

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

Well, 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 me too

Let me tell you something

You know I loved 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 seem 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
Well, 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
You're gonna give me a lot of money to 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, the 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
Baby, I wonder
I wonder what in the world gonna happen to me

Oh, yeah
Sweet sixteen
