Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why you treated me so bad
After the things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
Oh wanna know, won't you tell me

Solo: as Intro

I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know, won't you tell me
Are we in love to stay

Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Walk me to the water
Walk me to the water
Take me to the river
Just walk me on the water
Walk me on the water
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
