(spoken: How about it?, how about it?, it takes a lot of people to make it possible,
so give 'em a big hand. Everybody is working to try to make it nicer.
Anyway! As I leave you... a little bit of Sweet Sixteen for the guys -
just a taste - give me C for Sweet Sixteen...)
When I first met you baby, baby you were just sweet sixteen
First met you baby, baby you was just sweet sixteen
Just left your home then baby, oh the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing for me baby, you wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You wouldn't do nothing for me baby, oh you wouldn't do anything I asked you to
You know you ran away from your home baby, and now you wanna run away from old me too
My brother's in Korea baby, my sister's down in New Orleans
Brother's in Korea baby, oh sister sister down in New Orleans
You know I'm having so much troubles people,
baby I wonder what in the world is gonna happen to me
Oh yes sweet sixteen baby, sweet sixteen, oh yes
The sweetest thing baby, oh yes
The sweetest thing I ever seen
You know I'm having so much trouble people,
baby I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen oh yes
You know I'm having so much trouble people
Baby I wonder
Yes I wonder
Baby I wonder
I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
Sweet Sixteen (Version 2)
When I first met you baby, oh, you were just sweet sixteen
When I first met you baby, oh, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home then baby, oh, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing baby, you wouldn't do anything I ask you to
Yes, you wouldn't do nothing baby, you wouldn't do anything I ask you to
You know you ran away from home baby, and now you want to run away from "old B" too
You know I love you, baby, Oh loved you before I could call your name
You know I love you, baby, Oh loved you before I could call your name
Well, it seems like everything I do, baby, everything I do is in vain
Well my brother's in Vietnam, sister's down in New Orleans
Well my brother's in Vietnam, sister's down in New Orleans
Well, you know I'm having so much trouble, sometimes I wonder what in the world is going to happen to me
You know I love you and I'll do anything you tell me to
You know I love you and I'll do anything you tell me to
Well, there ain't nothing in the world, woman, that I wouldn't do for you
You can treat me mean, baby, but I''ll keep loving you just the same
You can treat me mean, baby, but I''ll keep loving you just the same
But one of these days you're going to give a lot of money, just to hear someone call my name |
