I don't know why I love you like I do

After all these changes
That you put me through

You stole my money and my cigarettes

And I haven't seen hide nor hair of them yet
I wanna know I wanna know
Won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay
Take me to the river take me to the river
And wash me down wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
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 I wanna know
Won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay
Take me to the river take me to the river
And wash me down wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
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

I don't know why I love you like I do

After all the changes you put me through

My sixteen candles burning on my wall

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know I wanna know
Oh won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay
Take me to the river take me to the river
And wash me down wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
Put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river take me to the river
And wash me down wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
Put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river
Take me to the river river
Take me take me take me to the river

Take me to the river
Take me to the river river
Take me take me take me to the river

Take me to the river
Take me to the river river
Take me take me take me to the river

River
Take me to the river river
Take me take me take me to the river
