Al Green - Take Me To The River Lyrics
"I don't know why I love you like I doAfter all these changes you put me throughYou stole my money and my cigarettesAnd I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yetI wanna knowOh won't you tell meAm I in love to stay?Take me to the riverAnd wash me downWon't you cleanse my soulPut my feet on the groundI don't know why she treated me so badLook at all those things that we could have hadLove is a notion that I can't forgetMy sweet sixteen I will never regretI wanna knowOh won't you tell meAm I in love to stay?Hold me, love me, please me, tease meTill I can't, till I can't take no moreTake me to the riverI don't know why I love you like I doAfter all these changes you put me throughThe sixteen candles burning on my wallTurning me into the biggest fool of them allI wanna knowOh won't you tell meAm I in love to stay?I wanna knowTake me to the riverI wanna knowI want you to dip me in the waterI wanna knowWash me in the water[etc]"
