Take Me to the River

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

All the changes you put me through

Take my money, my cigarettes

I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know that you'll tell me

"I love to stay"

Take me to the river, drop me in the water

Take me to the river, dip me in the water

And wash him down, washing me down

Down

I don't know why you treat me so bad

Think of all the things we could have had

Love is a notion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know that you'll tell me

"I love to stay"

Take me to the river, drop me in the water

Push me in the river, dip me in the water

And wash him down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me

Love me, tease me

'Til I can't, 'til 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

And wash him down, washing 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 that you'll tell me

"I'd love to stay"

Take me to the river and drop me in the water

Dip me in the river and drop me at the water

And wash him down, washing me down
