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 wouldnt do nothing, baby
You wouldnt do anything I asked to
You wouldnt do nothing for me, baby
You wouldnt 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 brothers in korea, baby
My sisters down in new orleans
Brothers in korea baby
My sisters down in new orleans
You know Im having so much trouble woman
Baby, I wonder, what in the world is gonna happen to me

You know I love you
And Ill do anything you tell me to
You know I love you
And Ill do anything you tell me to
Well, there aint nothing in the world, woman
Babe, it aint nothing
Nothing in the world I wouldnt do it for you

You can treat me mean, baby
But Ill keep on loving you just the same
You can treat me mean baby
But Ill keep on loving you just the same
But one of these days, baby
Youre 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 Im having so much trouble, woman
Baby I wonder
Yes I wonder
Baby I wonder
Oh, I wonder what in the worlds gonna happen to me
