I don't know why I love you like I do All the changes you put me through Take my money, my cigarettes I haven't seen the worst of it yet And I 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 I don't know why you treat me so bad Think of all the things we could have had Love is a notion that I can't forget My sweet sixteen I would never regret I 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 Hold me, squeeze me Love me, tease me 'Til I can't, 'til I can't 'Til I can't, I can't take no more Take me to the river Drop me in the water Dip me in the water Drop me to the river Dip me in the water Drop me in the river Push me in the water, washing me down Washing me down I don't know why I love you like I do All the trouble you put me through Sixteen candles blown on my wall And am I the biggest fool of them all I wanna know, can you tell me? I'd love to stay Take me to the river Drop me in the water Dip me in the water Drop me to the river Dip me in the water Drop me in the river Drop me in the water, washing me down Washing me down
