Take Me To The River Lyrics

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 seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna 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 16 will never regret

I wanna 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 16 candles are right on my wall
they tell me who made a fool of them all

I wanna know, won't you tell me
I'll be in love to stay
take me to the river ( x3)
walk me to the water ( x2)
take me to the river
just walk me to the water
walk me to the water
take me to the river ( x2)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
