Sweet
R.P.B Lyrics

When I first met you, baby
At the time of our first encounter, my dear

Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
You were barely 16 years old, my sweetheart

You just left your home then, woman
You had recently departed from your abode, my lady

Ah, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
You were very endearing, the most charming being I had ever laid eyes on

But you wouldn't do nothing, baby
However, you refused to do anything, my dear

You wouldn't do anything I asked to
My requests were not met by you, my dear

You know you ran away from your home, baby
You remember leaving your dwelling, my dear

And now you wanna run away from old B. too
And now, it seems that you desire to escape from my company as well, my dear

You know I loved you, baby
I express to you that I had affection for you, my dear

I loved you before I could call your name
My love for you dates back prior to me knowing your name, my dear

Well, it seems like everything I do now baby
At present, it appears that my efforts are all in vain, my dear

My brother's in Korea, baby
My sibling is stationed in Korea, my dear

My sister's down in New Orleans
My sibling is situated in New Orleans, my dear

You know I'm having so much trouble woman
I'm struggling with many difficulties, my lady

Baby, I wonder, what in the world is gonna happen to me
My dear, I wonder what fate has in store for me

You know I love you
It's a fact that I have love for you, my dear

And I'll do anything you tell me to
I'm willing to comply with your every request, my dear

Well, there ain't nothing in the world, woman
There is absolutely nothing, my lady

Babe, it ain't nothing
It is nothing at all, my dear

Nothing in the world I wouldn't do it for you
There isn't anything that I wouldn't do for you, my dear

You can treat me mean, baby
If you choose to be unkind to me, my dear

But I'll keep on loving you just the same
My love for you will remain unchanged, my dear

But one of these days, baby
Someday, my dear

You're gonna give a lot of money
You will someday have a great deal of wealth, my dear

To hear someone call my name
You will pay a large sum to have someone say my name, my dear

Yes, sweet sixteen baby... sweet sixteen...
Indeed, you were sixteen years old, my dear

Yes, the sweetest thing baby
You were the most delightful thing, my dear

You know I'm having so much trouble, woman
I am experiencing significant difficulties, my lady

Baby I wonder
My dear, I wonder

Yes I wonder
Indeed, I wonder

Baby I wonder
My dear, I wonder

Oh, I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
I wonder what will become of me in the future, my dear
