Píseň: Sweet Sixteen

Interpret:
Aretha Franklin
Album:
A Woman Falling Out of Love
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
