Let me tell you a story 

About body and blood 

There's a fire below 

Deep in the river of love 

Hey pretty mama I'm just trying to be polite 

I wanna make you feel the rhythm of the river tonight 

And when the story is over 

You'll be satisfied 



Honey, honey, honey don't you understand 

To make you feel like a woman 

Makes me feel like a man 



Let me take you down to the river of love 

Baby pull me under 

Make me drown in your flood 

Baptize my body in your river of love 

Wontcha take me down 

I wanna drown 

In your river of love 



If you're a little lovesick 

Woman I got the cure 

Let me be your preacher 

And you can be my whore 

I feel your heart pumpin honey don't say not 

I wanna dive in your river 

Take you down real slow 

And then your body will quiver 

And the river will flow 



Honey, honey, honey don't you understand 

To make you feel like a woman 

Makes me feel like a man 



Let me take you down to the river of love 

Baby pull me under 

Make me drown in your flood 

Baptize my body in your river of love 

Wontcha take me down 

I wanna drown 

In your river of love 



Down, down, down let me take ya 

Down, down, down I wanna take ya 

Let me take you down to the river of love 

Baby pull me under 

Make me drown in your flood 

Baptize my body in your river of love 

Wontcha take me down 

I wanna drown 

In our river of love
