Seen 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 your 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

Sixteen candles down the drain

I watch you passed out for awhile
Touch your face and start to smile
And on your note is my reply
I wish I'd loved you, I wish I'd 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

Sixteen candles down the drain

The drain (sixteen candles down the drain)
The drain (sixteen candles down the drain)
The drain (sixteen 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, don't ask why

Sixteen candles down the drain

The drain (sixteen candles down the drain)
The drain (sixteen candles down the drain)

The drain (sixteen candles down the drain)
The drain, the drain, the drain
