I see you naked in the Bath Cigarette stains on your Hands Wilted flowers in a vase And I ask how you are I see your lipstick on Your glass And I think you're drunk And start to laugh And I find your note the Letters ran And it said I loved you Don't ask why Sixteen candles down the Drain I watch you passed out for A while I touch your face you Start to smile And on your note is my Reply I wished I loved you Don't ask why Sixteen candles down the Drain
