Take Me To the River lyrics

I don't know why I love you like I do

After all these changes that you put me through

You stole my money and my cigarettes

And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know, won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul?

Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treated me so bad

Look at all the things that we could have had

Love is a notion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know, won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me

Till I can't, till I can't, can't take no more

Take me to the river

I don't know why I love you like I do

After all the things that you put me through

The sixteen candles are burning on my wall

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know, can't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

I wanna know

Take me to the river

I wanna know

Want you to dip me in the water

I wanna know

Won't you wash me in the water?

Wash me in the water

Wash me in the water

Won't you wash me in the water?

Feeling good
