I see you naked in the bath
Cigarette stains on your hands
Wilted flowers in a vase
I ask how are you, yeah, how are you?

I see your lipstick on your glass
And I think you're drunk, I start to laugh
I find the note the letters ran
It said I loved you, yeah 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
Don't ask why

16 candles down the drain

I watch you passed out for awhile
I touch your face and start to smile
On your note is my reply
I wish 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
Don't ask why

16 candles down the drain
(The drain)
16 candles down the drain
(The drain)

16 candle down the drain
(The drain)
16 candles down the drain
(The drain)

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
(The drain)
16 candles down the drain
(The drain)

16 candle down the drain
(The drain)
16 candles down the drain
(The drain, the drain, the drain)
