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
