I don't know why,
I love ya like i do.
After all the changes,

You put me through.

You stole my money,

And my cigarettes.
And i haven't seen,
How to? yet.


[chorus:]
I wanna know,

Won't you tell me,
I'd love to stay,
Hey, hey, hey.

[end chorus]

Take me to the river,

Wash me down.
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground.


I don't know why,
She treated me so bad.

After of all the things,
That we could have had.


Love is an ocean,
That i can't forget.
My sweet sixteen,

I will never regret.

[repeat chorus]

I wanna know,
Won't you tell me,
I'd love to stay,

Hey, hey, hey.

Take me to the river...


[bridge]


Hold me,
Hug me,
Squeeze me,

Tease me!
Till i can't,
Till i can't take no more!

Can't take no more.

I don't know why,

I love you like i do.
After all the things,
That you put me through.


Those sixteen candles,
Are burned on my wall.

Tell me who's the biggest,
Fool of them all?


[repeat chorus]

Take me to the river,

Wash me down.
Dip me in the water,
Put my feet on the ground...
