I don't know why I love you like I do After all the changes you put me through Stole my money, my cigarettes I haven't seen the worst of it yet I wanna know boy, won't you tell me Tell me how can I stay here with you Chorus: Won't you take me to the river Wash me down Take me to the river Put my feet back on the ground I don't know why you treat me so bad After all the good times that we've had You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall Now who's the biggest fool of us all I wanna know, won't you tell me Tell me how can I stay here with you Chorus
