Sweet Sixteen Lyrics By B B King

    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
    ah the sweetest thing i’d ever seen

    but you wouldn’t do nothing baby
    you wouldn’t do anything i asked to
    you wouldn’t do nothing for me baby
    you wouldn’t do anything i asked to
    you know you ran away from your home baby
    and now you wanna run away from old b too

    you know i loved you baby
    i loved you before i could call your name
    you know i loved you baby
    baby i loved you i love you before i could call your name
    well it seems like everything i do now baby
    everything i do is in vain

    my brother’s in korea baby
    my sister’s down in new orleans
    brother’s in korea baby
    my sister’s down in new orleans
    you know i’m having so much trouble woman
    baby i wonder what in the world is gonna 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
    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 loving you just the same
    you can treat me mean baby
    but i’ll keep 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

    yes sweet sixteen baby sweet sixteen
    yes the sweetest thing baby
    the sweetest thing i ever seen
    you know i’m having so much trouble woman
    baby i wonder
    yes i wonder
    baby i wonder
    oh i wonder what in the world’s gonna happen to me
