- Take Me To The River Lyrics / with translationsI don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes that 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, take me
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul get my feet on the ground
I don't know why you treated me so bad
Look at all these things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I wont forget
My sweet sixteen now I never regret
I wanna know
Won't you tell me, am I in love to stay?
Hold me
Love me
Squeeze me
Tease me
'Till I die, 'till I die
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes that 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, take me
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul get my feet on the ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dip me in the water dip me in the water baby
After all these changes that 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, take me
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul get my feet on the ground
I don't know why you treated me so bad
Look at all these things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I wont forget
My sweet sixteen now I never regret
I wanna know
Won't you tell me, am I in love to stay?
Love me
Squeeze me
Tease me
'Till I die, 'till I die
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes that 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, take me
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul get my feet on the ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dip me in the water dip me in the water baby
