Take Me to the River Songtext
von Lynda Carter

I don′t know why I love you like I do
All the changes that you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know, won′t you tell me, I really love to stay

Take me to the river (take me to the river)
Drop me in the water (drop me in the water)
Take me to the river (take me to the river)
Dip me in the water (dip me in the water)
Washin' me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things that we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can′t forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know, won′t you tell me, I really love to stay

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Dip me in the water


Hug me
Squeeze me
Love me
Tease me
'Til I can′t
'Til I can′t
'Til I can′t
Taking over

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
Washin' me down
Washin' me down
Wade (wade)

I don′t know why I love you like I do
All the troubles that you put me through
16 candles there on my wall
And here I am
The biggest fool of all

I wanna know, won′t you tell me, I really love to stay

Take me to the river (take me to the river)
Drop me in the water (drop me in the water)
Take me to the river (take me to the river)
Dip me in the water


Oh, take me to the river (take me to the river)
Drop me in the water (drop me in the water)
Take me to the river (take me to the river)
Dip me in the water
Washin' me down
Washin′ me down
Washin' me down
