Delbert McClinton - Take Me River lyrics
Your rating:
by Delbert McClinton I don't know why I love you like I do After all them changes you been puttin' me through You stole my money and my cigarettes, And I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yet. I wanna know, oh won't you tell me Tell me how, how could I stay here with you? Somebody, please, Take me to the river, And wash me down. Take me to the river, And put my feet back on the ground. (Now looky here) I don' know why you treat me so bad After all them good times that you and me had Love is a motion that I can't forget My sweet sixteen keeps my mind in a sweat! I wanna know, oh won't you tell me Tell me how, how could I stay here with you? Somebody help me! Take me to the river, And wash me down. Take me to the river, And put my feet back on the ground. Oh, love me, squeeze me, hold me, and baby you can tease me 'Til I can't take no more! I don't know why I love you like I do After all them changes you been puttin' me through Your pretty picture makes my teardrops falls I wonder who's the biggest fool of us all. I wanna know, oh won't you tell me Tell me how, how could I stay here with you? Somebody help me! Take me to the river, And wash me down. Take me to the river, And put my feet back on the ground.
