[Verse 1] I don't know why I love her like I do All the changes you put me through Take my money, my cigarettes I haven't seen the worst of it yet [Pre-Chorus] I wanna know, can you tell me Am I in love to stay? [Chorus] Take me to the river, drop me in the water Take me to the river, dip me in the water Washing me down, washing me down [Verse 2] I don't know why you treat me so bad Think of all the things that we could have had Love is a notion that I can't forget My sweet sixteen I would never regret [Pre-Chorus] I wanna know, can you tell me? Am I in love to stay? [Chorus] Take me to the river, drop me in the water Push me in the river, dip me in the water Washing me down, washing me [Bridge] Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me Till I can't, till I can't, I can't take no more [Chorus] Dip me in the water, drop me in the river Push me in the water, drop me in the river Washing me down, washing me down [Verse 3] I don't know why I love her like I do All the trouble you put me through Sixteen candles there on my wall And here am I, the biggest fool of them all [Pre-Chorus] I wanna know, can you tell me? Am I in love to stay? [Chorus] Take me to the river, drop me in the water Dip me in the river, drop me in the water Washing me down, washing me down Ooh, a-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya [Outro] Ooh, a na na na A na na na na, ah! A na na na, hoo! A na na na, ooh! A na na na na, hoo! Ha! Na na na na, ah! Na na na na na Na na na na
