I don't know why I love you like I do   After all the changes that you put me through   You used all my money and my cigarettes   And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet   I wanna know, won't you tell me, am I in love to stay?      Take me to the river and 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   Look at all those things that we could have had   Love is a notion that I can't forget   My sweet sixteen I will never regret   I wanna know, won't you tell me, am I in love to stay?      Hold me, love me, please me, tease me   Till I can't, till I can't take no more, take me to the river      I don't know why I love you like I do   After all the things that you put me through   The sixteen candles burning on my wall   Turning me into the biggest fool of them all   I wanna know, can't you tell me, am I in love to stay?      I wanna know, take me to the river   I wanna know, I want you to dip me in the water   I wanna know, won't you wash me in the water   Wash me in the water, wash me in the water   Won't you wash me in the water
