Lyrics Take Me to the River

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 how I love to stay

Take me to the river and wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul get my feet on the ground

I don't know why you treated me so bad

Look at all these things that we could have had

Love is a notion that I won't forget

My sweet sixteen now I never regret

I wanna know won't you tell me how I love to stay

Take me to the river and wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul take it to my feet on the ground

Oh yeah

Hold me, love me squeeze me, tease me 'till I die 'till I die

Take me baby take me to the river take me river wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul take it to my feet on the ground oh yeah, come on yeah

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 how I love to stay

Won't you

I better say

I say

Take me to the river wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul get my feet on the ground

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Dip me in the water

Dip me in the water, baby

Dip me in the water

Dip me in the water yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
