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