I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
You stole 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?
Hey hey
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?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
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 these changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know
Oh 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
One more time!
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river
