Take Me to the River

I don't know why I love you like do

All the changes you put me through

Take my money, my cigarettes

I haven't seen the worst of it yet

And I wanna know

Can you tell me?

I'd love to stay

Take me to the river

Drop me in the water

Take me to the river

Dip me in the water, washin' me down

Washin' me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad

Think of all the things that we could have had

Love is a notion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know

Can you tell me?

I'd love to stay

Take me to the river

Drop me in the water

Push me in the river

Dip me in the water, washin' me down

Washin' me

Hold me, squeeze me

Love me, tease me

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

Dip me in the water

Drop me in the river

Push me in the water

Drop me in the river

Washin' me down, washin' me down

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

All the trouble you put me through

Sixteen candles there on my wall

And here am I, the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know

Can you tell me?

I'd love to stay

Take me to the river

Drop me in the water

Dip me in the river

Drop me in the water

Washin' me down

Washin' me down, yeah

Yeah
