I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river and wash me there
Won't you cleanse my soul
And put my feet on the ground, oh
Take me to the river right now
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
Sweet sixteen I will never regret
I wanna know, can you'll tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river and dip me there
Won't you cleanse my soul
And put my feet on the ground, oh
Take me to the river right now
Hold me in
And then I know I'll be there
Hold me in (and wash me down)
And then I know I'll be there
Take me to the river and wash me there
Won't you cleanse my soul
And put my feet on the ground, oh
Take me to the river right now
Take me to the river and wash me there
Won't you cleanse my soul
And put my feet on the ground, oh
Take me to the river right now
