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 no hair of you yet

I wanna know

Won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river

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

After all the things that we coulda 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?

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul?

Put my feet on the ground, oh, yeah

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me

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

Oh, oh, 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 burning on my wall

Tell me, who's the biggest fool of them all?

I wanna know

Tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river

Wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul?

Put my feet on the ground

Won't you take me to the river?

Wash me down

Cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground

Alright

Alright

Wash me down

Take me to the river

Take me to the river
