Take Me To The River Lyrics By Syl Johnson

    i don’t know why i love you like i do
    after all these changes that you put me through
    you stole my money and my cigarettes
    and i haven’t seen hide nor hair of you yet

    i wanna know
    won’t you tell me
    am i in love to stay

    take me to the river
    and wash me down
    won’t you cleanse my soul
    put my feet on the ground

    i don’t know why she treated me so bad
    look at all those things that we could have had
    love is a notion that i can’t forget
    my sweet sixteen i will never regret

    i wanna know
    won’t you tell me
    am i in love to stay

    hold me love me please me tease me
    till i can’t till i can’t take no more
    take me to the river

    i don’t know why i love you like i do
    after all the things that you put me through
    the sixteen candles burning on my wall
    turning me into the biggest fool of them all

    i wanna know
    oh won’t you tell me
    am i in love to stay

    i wanna know
    take me to the river
    i wanna know
    want you to dip me in the water
    i wanna know
    won’t you wash me in the water
    wash me in the water
    wash me in the water
    won’t you wash me in the water
    feeling good
