Tina Turner - Take Me to The River Lyrics

Wash me

I don't know why I love you like I do
With all the changes I keep going through
Lost all my money and my happiness
And I haven't had the worst of it yet
I wanna know, tell me, tell me why
I love it still

Take me to the river (river)
Wash me down (whoa-whoa)
Yeah, drop me in the water (whoa-whoa, river)
Back to my fishing ground (whoa-whoa)

And I don't know why been treated so bad
Thinking 'bout the good things that I never had
Love's an ocean I won't forget
My sweet sixteen, I will never regret
I wanna know, won't you tell me, tell me why
I love it still

Come on, river (whoa-whoa, river)
Wet me down (whoa-whoa)
Yeah, dip me in the water (whoa-whoa, river)
Back to my fishing ground (whoa-whoa)

And, and hold me, squeeze me
Just love me, and tease me
Until I can't, 'til I can't
Take it no more

I don't know why been treated so bad
Thinking 'bout the good things that I never had
Love's an ocean I won't forget
My sweet sixteen, I will never regret
I wanna know, to tell me, tell me why
I love it still

Take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
And dip me in the water (whoa-whoa)
Take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
Drop me in the water (whoa-whoa)
Take me to the river (whoa-whoa, river)
And drop me in the water (whoa-whoa)
Yeah, take me to the water (whoa-whoa, river)
My fishing ground (whoa-whoa)

Oh (whoa-whoa)
Whoa-whoa (river), the river (whoa-whoa)
Whoa-whoa, ow (whoa-whoa, river)
Whoa-whoa, river (whoa-whoa)
Wash me, wet me (whoa-whoa, river)
Squeeze me, and tease me (whoa-whoa)
That river (whoa-whoa, river)
Whoa-whoa, river (whoa-whoa)
Ow (whoa-whoa, river)
Whoa-whoa, river (whoa-whoa)
Washing me down
