Lyrics

I don't know why, I love ya like I do. After all the changes, You put me through. You stole my money, And my cigarettes. And I haven't seen, How to? yet. [Chorus:] I wanna know, Won't you tell me, I'd love to stay, Hey, hey, hey. [End Chorus] Take me to the river, 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. After of all the things, That we could have had. Love is an ocean, That I can't forget. My sweet sixteen, I will never regret. [Repeat chorus] I wanna know, Won't you tell me, I'd love to stay, Hey, hey, hey. Take me to the river... [Bridge] Hold me, Hug me, Squeeze me, Tease me! Till I can't, Till I can't take no more! Can't take no more. I don't know why, I love you like I do. After all the things, That you put me through. Those Sixteen candles, Are burned on my wall. Tell me who's the biggest, Fool of them all? [Repeat chorus] Take me to the river, Wash me down. Dip me in the water, Put my feet on the ground...
