[Refrão]
C G D
I wanna know Won't you tell me
A Am
I in love to stay? Hey hey
Em7
Take me to the river And wash me down
[Próxima Parte]
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 have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C#m A C#m A
Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Em7 B
Till I can't, till I can't take no more
Em7
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
[Refrão] (repetir)
