Take Me To The River Lyrics - The Bride Stripped Bare - Bryan Ferry

I don't know why I love you like I do 

After the things that you put me through 

You stole my money, my cigarettes 

I haven't see hide nor hair of you yet 

I want to know, won't you tell me 

I'd really love to stay 

Take me to the river, and wash me down 

She cleans my soul 

Put my feet on the ground 

I don't know why you treated me so bad 

After the things we could have had 

Love is emotion that I can't forget 

My sweet sixteen will never regret 

Oh want to know, won't you tell me 

I'll be in love to stay 

Take me to the river 

Hold me, love me 

Please me, tease me 

Till I can, till I can 

I don't know why I love you like I do 

After the changes you put me through 

Your sixteen candles are right on my wall 

They tell me who made a fool of them all 

I want to know, won't you tell me 

I'll be in love to stay
