"Take Me To The River" lyrics
"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, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing 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?
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me 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
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why I love her 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?
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
Ooh, a-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ooh, a na na na
A na na na na, ah!
A na na na, hoo!
A na na na, ooh!
A na na na na, hoo!
Ha! Na na na na, ah!
Na na na na na
Na na na na

Roxy Music - "Love Is The Drug" T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated
I spare for days
I troll downtown
The red light place
I jump up, bubble up
What's in store?...
The Cars - "My Best Friend's Girl" You're always dancing
Down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise

When she's dancing
'Neath the starry sky

INXS - "What You Need" Hey, here is the story
Forget about the troubles in life
Don't you know, it's not easy
When you gotta walk upon that line
That's why you need
Ooh, that's why. This is what you need
I'll give you...
Steely Dan - "Deacon Blues" This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers
Wild gamblers
That's all in the past
You...
