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 heard from you yet
I want to know
won't you tell me
How I'd love to stay
Take me to the river
wash me down, yeah
Won't you cleanse my soul
Try to get my feet
off the ground...
I don't know why
you treat me so bad
After all these thing's
that we could've had
Love is a notion
that I won't forget
My sweet sixteen
now I'll never regret
I want to know
won't you tell me
I'd love to stay
Take me to the river
wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Get my feet off the ground
Hold me, love me
Squeeze me, tease me
'Til I can't
'Til I can't take it baby
Take me to the river
wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Get my feet off the ground
I don't know why
I love you like I do
After all these changes
that you put me through
Used all my money
and my cigarettes
I haven't seen
hide nor heard of you yet
I wanna know, what to tell me
I wanna know what to say
Won't you, take me
Take me to the river
wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Get my feet off the ground
Yeah take me to the water
Yeah, yeah...
Take me to the water
Wash me down
Oh take me to the river
Take me to the river
Oh, yeah, wash me down
Take me to the river.....
