I don't know why I love her like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know can you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, take me to the river
Drop me in the water, drop me in the water, water

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know can you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, take me to the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the water, water

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, I can't take no more of it
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, take me to the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the water, water

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the changes you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know can you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, take me to the river
Take me to the river drop me in the water
