VERSE 1:
I DON’T KNOW WHY I LOVE YOU LIKE I DO
AFTER ALL THESE CHANGES THAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH
YOU TOOK MY MONEY…MY CIGARETTES…
I HAVEN’T SEEN OR HEARD FROM YOU YET
PRECHORUS:
I WANNA KNOW
WON’T YOU TELL ME?
AM I IN LOVE TO STAY?
CHORUS:
TAKE ME TO THE RIVER
WASH ME IN THE WATER
TAKE ME TO THE RIVER
WASHING ME DOWN…
WASHING ME DOWN…
VERSE 2:
I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
THINK OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT WE COULD HAVE HAD
LOVE IS AN OCEAN THAT I’LL NEVER FORGET
MY SWEET SIXTEEN I WILL NEVER REGRET
VERSE 3:
I DON’T KNOW WHY I LOVE YOU LIKE I DO
AFTER ALL THESE CHANGES THAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH
SIXTEEN CANDLES BURNED DOWN MY WALL
HERE AM I THE BIGGEST FOOL OF THEM ALL
