When i first met you baby
Honey you were almost out of school
When i first met you baby
Honey you were almost out of school
You were real wild then woman
Honey, but you were nobody's fool
I was so in love with you baby
And i tried to get you to love me too
I was so in love with you baby
And i tried to get you to love me too
I thought you had no time for me then woman
Wouldn't do anything i asked to
Oh, sweet thing
You are all i want to see
Oh, sweet thing
You are all i want to see
I having so much trouble baby
I wonder what's gonna happen to me
