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
