Sweet Sixteen

When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
Well, when I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home then, woman
The sweetest thing I'd ever seen

But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
You know, you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything I asked to
You ran away from your home, woman
And now you try to run away from Johnny too

You know I love you, baby
I'll do anything you tell me to
Well, you know, you know I love you, baby
And I'll do anything you tell me to
Well, there ain't nothing babe,
Nothing in the world I wouldn't do it for you

You can treat me mean, baby
But I'll go on loving you just the same
You can treat me mean baby
But I'll go 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

Sweet sixteen... yes, sweet sixteen baby
The sweetest thing
The sweetest thing I ever seen
sweet sixteen baby
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
