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 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? 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 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 Oh won'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 Feeling good
