Take Me to the River - Al Green

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

All the changes you put me through.

You take my money, you stole my Corvette. 

I haven’t see the worst of you yet.


I wanna know, can you tell me. Am I in 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 that we could have had.

Love is a notion that I can't forget. 

My sweet honey, I could never regret.


I wanna know, can you tell me? Am I in 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, I can't take no more.


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.
