Take Me To The River

Mabon Hodges / Al Green

I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

Yeah, 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 sixteen I would never regret

Yeah, 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

Dip me in the water
Drop me in the river
Push me in the water
Drop me in the river
Washing me down
Washing me down

I don't know why I love her like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I, the biggest fool of them all

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

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, ooh
