Ah, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
I loved you before I could call your name
And now you wanna run away from old B. too
Baby I wonder, yes I wonder, baby I wonder
You just left your home then, baby
The sweetest thing, the sweetest thing
My sister's down in New Orleans
You know I'm having so much trouble, people
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
And I'll keep on loving you just the same
I'll keep loving you, keep on loving you just the same
My brother's in Korea, baby
But it seems like everything I do now, baby
Treat me mean, baby
You know I loved you, baby
Love you, loved you, I loved you before I could call your name
Well, you know I'm having so much trouble, people
Baby, I wonder, what in the world is gonna happen to me
Oh, sister's, sister's down in New Orleans
To hear someone call my name
You wouldn't do anything I ask you to
The sweetest thing, baby
The sweetest thing I've ever seen
You're gonna give a lot of money
Everything I do is in vain
You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
Oh I just left Vietnam, baby
But one of these days, baby
You know, you know I loved you, baby
You wouldn't do anything I ask you to
When I first met you, baby
Yes, sweet sixteen baby, sweet sixteen
You know you ran away from your home, baby
Treat me mean, baby
