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

After all the things that you put me through

You stole my money and my cigarettes

And I haven't seen why I should forget

I want to know, won't you tell me

I'd love to stay, yea yea



Take me to the river, wash me down

Please my soul, put my feet on the ground



I don't know why she treat me so bad

After all the things that we could've had

Love is a notion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I will never regret

I want to know, won't you tell me

I'd love to stay, I'd love to stay



Take me to the river, wash me down

Please my soul, put my feet on the ground



Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me

Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more



Take me to the river, wash me down

Please my soul, put my feet on the ground



{Rod - Solo}



Take me to the river, wash me down

Please my soul, put my feet on the ground



Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river
