"Take Me To The River" lyrics

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know, won't you tell me?
Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why he 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

I wanna know, won't you tell me?
Am I allowed to stay?

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Ooh Lord
Put my feet on the ground

Hold me, love me
Please me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't
Can't take no more

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know, won't you tell me?
Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul?
Put my feet on the ground
