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, baby
The sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
And now you wanna run away
You know I love you, baby
I loved you before I could call your name
You know, you know I loved you, baby
I loved you before I could call your name
Seem like everything I do now, baby
Everything I do is in vain
And I'll keep on lovin' you just the same
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, the sweetest thing, baby
Ohw yes, the sweetest thing I ever seen
You know I'm having so much trouble, baby
Oh, I wonder what in the world's
