I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know can you'll tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul and put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river right now

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
Sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know can you'll tell me
Am I in love to stay?

Take me to the river
And dip me down
Won’t you cleanse my soul
And put my feet on the ground
Oh take me to the river right now

Hold me in
Then I know I’ll be there
Hold me in and wash me down
Then I know I’ll be there

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won’t you cleanse my soul
And put my feet on the ground
Oh take me to the river right now
