Sweet Sixteen (Live International Club, Chicago)
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, woman
Oh, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything, I asked you to
Oh, 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 ol' B too
You know, I love you
And I'll do anything, you tell me to
You know, you know, I love you, baby
Baby, I love you and I'll do anything, you tell me to
There's nothing in the world, woman
Babe, it ain't nothing
Nothing in the world, I wouldn't do it for you
You can treat me mean, baby
But I'll keep on lovin' you just the same
Treat me mean, treat me mean, baby
Keep on lovin' you just the same
Oh, but one of these days, baby
You're gonna give a lot of money
To hear someone, call my name
Yes, sweet sixteen, baby, sweet sixteen
Oh yup, the sweetest thing, baby
Oh yeah, the sweetest thing, I ever seen
Oh, you know I'm havin' so much trouble without you
Baby, I wonder, yes, I wonder, baby, I wonder
Oh world's gonna happen to me
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
When I first met you, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home then, woman
Oh, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
You wouldn't do anything, I asked you to
Oh, 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 ol' B too
You know, I love you
And I'll do anything, you tell me to
You know, you know, I love you, baby
Baby, I love you and I'll do anything, you tell me to
There's nothing in the world, woman
Babe, it ain't nothing
Nothing in the world, I wouldn't do it for you
You can treat me mean, baby
But I'll keep on lovin' you just the same
Treat me mean, treat me mean, baby
Keep on lovin' you just the same
Oh, but one of these days, baby
You're gonna give a lot of money
To hear someone, call my name
Yes, sweet sixteen, baby, sweet sixteen
Oh yup, the sweetest thing, baby
Oh yeah, the sweetest thing, I ever seen
Oh, you know I'm havin' so much trouble without you
Baby, I wonder, yes, I wonder, baby, I wonder
Oh world's gonna happen to me
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
