The Commitments Take Me to the River lyrics

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know won't you tell me, how I love to stay
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul, get my feet on the ground

I don't know why you treated me so bad
Look at all these things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I won't forget
My sweet sixteen now I never regret

I wanna know won't you tell me, how I love to stay
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul, gotta get my feet on the ground, oh yeah

Hold me, love me, squeeze me, tease me till I die, till I die
Take me, take me, take me to the river, take me, wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul, gotta get my feet on the ground
Oh yeah, come yeah


I don't know why I love like I do
Look at all these things that we could have had
You stole my money and my cigarettes
I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know won't you tell me, how I love to stay, oh yeah
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul, get my feet on the ground

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water baby
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, dip me
I said, "Dip me [Incomprehensible]"
You gotta dip me
Dip me in the water, yeah yeah
