Paroles
[Verse 1]
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet
[PreChorus]
I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay, yeah
Yeah, hey
[Chorus]
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground
[Verse 2]
I don't know why she treated me so bad
After all the things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
[PreChorus]
I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay, yeah
Yeah, hey
[PreChorus]
Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, can't take no more
[Chorus]
Take me to the river
[Verse 3]
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
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
[PreChorus]
I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay, hey hey hey yeah
[Chorus]
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
Want you to wash me in the water
Feeling good
