When I first met you, baby

Baby you were just sweet sixteen

When I first met you, baby

Oh you were just sweet sixteen

You just left your home then, baby

The sweetest thing I′d ever seen

But you wouldn't do nothing for me 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 love you, baby

I loved you before I could call your name

You know I loved you, baby

Baby I love 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 down in New Orleans

Brother's in Korea, baby

My sister′s down in New Orleans

You know I'm having so much trouble, people

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

Treat me mean, baby

And I′ll keep on lovin' you just the same

Treat me mean, baby

I′ll keep loving, 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

Ohw yes, the sweetest thing I ever seen

You know I'm having so much trouble, baby

Baby I wonder

Yes I wonder

Baby I wonder

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