/12. Take Me To The River Songtext
von Talking Heads

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

Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

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
My sweet sixteen I would never regret


I want to know that you′ll tell me
I'd love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can′t, till I can't, till I can′t take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all

I want to know that you′ll tell me
I'd love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
