I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
You took my money and my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it
I wanna know, can you tell me why won’t you stay

Take me to the river, Drop me in the water
Take me to the river. Dip me in the water Washing me down
Washing me down

I don't know why you treated me so bad
Think about the things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

Take me to the river, Drop me in the water
Push me to the river. Dip me in the water Washing me down
Washing me Hold me Love me Please me tease me Til I Can’t Til I Can’t
Dip me in the water, Drop me in the river
Push me in the water. Dip me in the water Washing me down
Washing me down

I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

Take me to the river, Drop me in the water
Take me to the river. Dip me in the water Washing me down
Washing me down
