[Verse 1]
E7 Asus4 A
I don't know why I love you like I do

[Chorus]

Take me to the river, wash me down

Take me to the water, put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treated me so bad
After all the things that we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret (repeat chorus)

Please me, baby you can squeeze me

Til I drown, til I drown, til I drown, I'm gonna take you to the river

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
Your sixteen candles are burnin' on my wall
Telling me how you made a fool of them all (repeat chorus)
