Al Green - Take Me To The River lyrics

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

After all these changes 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?

Hey hey

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?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground

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 these changes 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?

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground

One more time!

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river
