When I first met you baby, baby was I only sweet sixteen
When I first met you baby, baby was I only sweet sixteen baby
But you know I'm having so much trouble, oh baby I believe I'm about to go insane, babe yeah oh yeah

You know I love you baby, and I'll do anything you ask me to, yeah
You know I love you baby, baby, and I'll do anything you ask me to
But you know I'm having so much trouble, oh baby I believe I'm about to go insane, babe

Sweet sixteen baby, and the sweetest of men I've ever seen
Sweet sixteen baby, and the sweetest of men I've ever seen
But you know I'm having so much trouble, oh I believe you're gonna drive poor me insane
