ANNIE LENNOX LYRICS - Take Me To The River

"Take Me To The River"



I don't know why I love you 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 wanna know, can you tell me

I'd really like to stay



Take me to the river

Drop me in the water

Take me to the river

Dip me in the water

Wash me down, wash me down

Wash me down, wash 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

And I can't forget my sweet sixteen I'll never fret

I wanna know, can you tell me

I'd really like to stay



Take me to the river

Drop me in the water

Take me to the river

Dip me in the water



Love me, squeeze me

Love me, tease me

Till I can't, till I can't

Till I can't, till I can't



I don't know why I love you like I do

All the trouble you put me through

Sixteen candles blowin' on the wall

And here I am the bigg'st fool of all

I wanna know, can you tell me

I'd really like to stay



Take me to the river

Drop me in the water - come on, come on, come on yea...

Dip me in the water

Drop me in the river - come on, come on...

Dip me in the water

Drop me in the river

Push me in the water...
