Take Me To The River lyrics

`I don`t know why I love you like I do
After all these changes 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
Oh 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 those 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
Oh 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 take no more
Take me to the river

I don`t know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know
Oh won`t you tell me
Am I in love to stay?

I wanna know
Take me to the river
I wanna know
I want you to dip me in the water
I wanna know
Wash me in the water
[etc]
