I don’t know why I love you like I do,__
af-ter all these chang-es that you put me through.
You stole my mon-ey and my cig-a-rettes,
And I have-n’t seen hide nor hair of you yet.
I wan-na know,_ won’t you tell me,___
(am) I__ in love__ to stay?_____
Take me to the riv-er,
(and) wash me down.
Won’t you cleanse my soul,___
get my feet on the ground?
I don’t know why she treat-ed me so bad.__
Look at all the things that we could have had._
Love is a no-tion that I can’t for-get,___
my sweet six-teen, now I nev-er re-gret.
I wan-na know,_ won’t you tell me,___
(am) I___ in love__ to stay?_____
(am) I___ in love__ to stay?_____
Hold___ me, love me,_ squeeze me,______ tease me,
till I change, till I can.___ Can’t take no more.
Take me to the riv-er.
I don’t know why I love you like I do,__
af-ter all the things that you put me through.
There’s six-teen can-dles burn-ing on my wall,__
tell-ing me that I_ am the fool of them all.
I wan-na know,_ won’t you tell me,_
(am) I___ in love__ to stay?_____
I wan-na know. Take me to the riv-er, I wan-na know,
Dip me in the wa-ter, I wan-na know.
Walk me in the wa-ter,
Walk me in the water,
Walk me in the water,
Walk me in the water.
