Lyrics

Molly

[Verse 1]

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?"

[Verse 2]

I see the lipstick on your glass

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"

[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

Sixteen candles down the drain

[Verse 2]

I watch you passed out for a while

I touch your face, you start to smile

And on your note is my reply

"I wish I'd loved you

I wish I'd 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

Sixteen candles down the drain

[Post-Chorus]

Down the drain (Sixteen candles down the drain)

Down the drain (Sixteen candles down the drain)

Down the drain (Sixteen candles down the drain)

Down the drain

Down the drain

[Instrumental Break]

[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)

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

Don't ask why, don't ask why

Sixteen candles down the drain

[Post-Chorus]

Down the drain (Sixteen candles down the drain)

Down the drain (Sixteen candles down the drain)

Down the drain (Sixteen candles down the drain)

Down the drain

Down the drain
