Verse

I see you naked in the bath

Cigarette stains on your hands

Wilted flowers in a vase

I ask how are you

I see the lipstick on your glass

I think your're drunk I start to laugh

I found your note the letters ran

They said I loved you, yes I loved you

Chorus

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain

I watch you passed out for a while

I touch your face you start to smile

And on your note here's my reply

I wished I loved you I wish I loved you

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain The drain

Solo

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why (Don't ask why)

Don't ask why 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain 16 candles down the

drain The drain
