- Take Me To The River Lyrics[Verse 1]
I don't know why I love you like I do
With all the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen, I won't ever regret
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Hold me
Squeeze me
Love me
Taste me
Till I can't, till I can't
I can't take no more
[Chorus (altered)]
Dip me in the water
Drop me in the river
Push me in the water
Dunk me in the water, washing me down
Washing me down
[Verse 3]
I don't know why I love you like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles hanging on the wall
And here I am the biggest fool of them all
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay
[Chorus]
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
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
I don't know why I love you like I do
With all the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen, I won't ever regret
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Hold me
Squeeze me
Love me
Taste me
Till I can't, till I can't
[Chorus (altered)]
Dip me in the water
Drop me in the river
Push me in the water
Dunk me in the water, washing me down
Washing me down
[Verse 3]
I don't know why I love you like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles hanging on the wall
And here I am the biggest fool of them all
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay
[Chorus]
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
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)
