Take Me To The River

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

I wanna know
Can you tell me?
I'd really 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
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, and I can't forget
My sweet sixteen, I'll never regret

I wanna know
Can you tell me?
I'd really love to stay

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Dip me in the water

Love me, squeeze me
Love me, tease me
'Til I can't, 'til I can't
'Til I can't, 'til I can't

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles blowing on the wall
And here I am, the biggest fool of all

I wanna know
Can you tell me?
I'd really love to stay

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water (Come on, come on, come on)
Dip me in the water
(oh, yeah, you got to take me in the river)
Drop me in the river (Come on)
Dip me in the water (Now take me in the water, yeah)
Drop me in the river
(You got to drop me in the river, come on, come on)
Push me in the water (Push me in the water now, come on)
Drop me in the river
