Lyrics:

When I first met you, baby

Baby, you were just sweet sixteen

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 to

You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby

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, baby

I loved you before I could call your name

You know I loved you, baby

Baby I loved you, I love 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 down in New Orleans

Brother's in Korea baby

My sister's down in New Orleans

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

You know I love 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

You can treat me mean baby

But I'll keep on loving you just the same

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 baby

The sweetest thing I ever seen

You know I'm having so much trouble, woman

Baby I wonder

Yes I wonder

Baby I wonder

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