I don't know why I love you like I do After all them changes you've 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 I don't know why you treat me so bad After of all them good times that you and me had Love is an emotion that I can't forget My sweet sixteen keeps my mind in a mess 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 Just 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 Till I can't take no more I don't know why I love you like I do After all them changes you've puttin' me through Your pretty picture makes my teardrops fall I wonder who's the biggest fool of us all I wanna know, oh won't you tell me Tell me how, how can I stay here were 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 Take me to the river and wash me down Yeah, take me to the river And put my feet back on the ground Take me to the river and wash me down Just take me to the river And put my feet back on the ground
