Lyric discussion by softlyspoken 

I feel like the line "hello mister, pleased to meet ya" I want to hold her, I want to kiss her." Is him speaking to her father in the sense of asking if he can ask her to marry her.

Then the line; "Be my lover, My lady river But can i take ya, Take ya higher." Is him asking her then the rest is him telling her how he's going to take her to bigger and better places and that he's going to do for her. BUT that's just what come into my mind when I listen to it.
