Take Me to the River Songtext
von Tina Turner

Wash me

I don′t know why I love you like I do
With all the changes I keep going through
Lost all my money and my happiness
And I haven't had the worst of it yet

I wanna know
Tell me
Tell me why
I love it still! (I love you still)

Take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
Wash me down (whoa-whoa)
Yeah, drop me in the water (whoa-whoa, river)
Back to my fishing ground (whoa-whoa)

Mmm, and I don′t know why they treat me so bad
Think of all the good things that I've never had
Love's an ocean I won′t forget
My sweet 16 I will never regret


I wanna know
Won′t you tell me
Tell me why?
I love it still! (I love you still)

C'mon, river (whoa-whoa, river)
Wet me down (whoa-whoa)
Yeah, dip me in the water (whoa-whoa, river)
Back to my fishing ground (whoa-whoa)

Oh, and, and hold me, squeeze me
Just love me and tease me
′Til I can't, ′til I can't
Take it no more!

I don′t know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the good things that I've never had
Love's an ocean I won′t forget
My sweet 16 I will never regret

I wanna know
To tell me
Tell me why
I love it still! (I love you still)


Take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
And dip me in the water (whoa-whoa)
And take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
Drop me in the water (whoa-whoa)

Take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
And drop me in the water (whoa-whoa)
Yeah, take me to the water (whoa-whoa, river)
My fishing ground (whoa-whoa)

Whoa (whoa-whoa)
Whoa-whoa (river)
The river (whoa-whoa)
Whoa-whoa, aw
(Whoa-whoa) whoa-whoa (river)
The river (whoa-whoa)

Wash me, wet me (whoa-whoa)
Squeeze me (river)
And tease me (whoa-whoa)
In the river

(Whoa-whoa) whoa-whoa
(River) river
(Whoa-whoa) oh!
(Whoa-whoa) whoa-whoa
(River) river
(Whoa-whoa) washing me down
