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 
I wanna know, can you tell me
I'd really like to stay 

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water 
Take me to the river 
Dip me in the water 
Wash me down, wash me down
Wash me down, wash me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad 
Think of all the things that we could have had
Love is an ocean 
And I can't forget my sweet sixteen I'll never fret 
I wanna know, can you tell me 
I'd really like to stay 

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water 
Take me to the river 
Dip me in the water 

Love me, squeeze me 
Love me, tease me 
Till I can't, till I can't
Till I can't, till I can't

I don't know why I love you like I do 
All the trouble you put me through 
Sixteen candles blowin' on the wall 
And here I am the bigg'st fool of all 
I wanna know, can you tell me 
I'd really like to stay 

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water - come on, come on, come on yea...
Dip me in the water 
Drop me in the river - come on, come on...
Dip me in the water 
Drop me in the river
Push me in the water...
