I wanna know,
Won't you tell me.
Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river,
And wash me down.
Won't you cleanse my soul,
Put my feet on the ground.

I don't know why she treated me so bad,
Look at all those things that we could've had.
Love is a notion that I can't forget,
My sweet sixteen I will never regret.

I wanna know,
Won't you tell me.
Am I in love to stay?

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me,
'Til I can't, 'til I can't take no more,
Take me to the river.

I don't know why I love you like I do,
After all the changes that you put me through.
The sixteen candles burning on my wall,
Turning me nto the biggest fool of them all.

I wanna know,
Oh won't you tell me.
Am I in love to stay?

I wanna know,
Take me to the river.
I wanna know, I want you to dip me in the water.
I wanna know,
Won't you wash me in the water?
Wash me in the water.
Wash me in the water.
Won't you wash me in the water?
Feeling good.
