Take Me To The River

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Take all my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

And I wanna know
Won't you tell me
I'd really love to stay

Take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things that we could have had
Love is a notion I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret

And I wanna know
Won't you tell me
I'd really love to stay

Take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet on the ground

Hold me
Love me
Please me
Tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't

I don't know why I love you like I do
I couldn't take what you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
And tell me who made a fool of it all

And I wanna know
Won't you tell me
I'd really love to stay

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the river
Put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Wash me down
Wash me down
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Wash me in the river

Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Put my feet on the ground
Put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
