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, yeah, yeah      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      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
