Talking Heads - Take Me to the River Lyrics

Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water, the water

Don't know why, I love her like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen all the worst of it
Yet I wanna know, can't you tell me
And I love to stay

Take me to the river
(Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water)

Put me in the river
(Put me in the river)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water, the water)
Washing me down

Don't know why, you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean, I can't forget
I haven't seen all the worst of it
Yet I wanna know, can't you tell me
And I love to stay

Oh, take me to the river
(Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water)

Dip me in the river
(Push me in the river)
Push me in the water
(Push me in the water, the water)

Hold me, squeeze me
Love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't
I can't take no more of it

Take me to the river
(Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water)

Dip me in the river
(Dip me in the river)
Push me in the water
(Push me in the water, the water)

Don't know why, love you like I do
All the changes you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
Here am I, biggest fool of them all
I wanna know, can't you tell me
And I love to stay

Take me to the river
(Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water)

Put me in the river
(Put me in the river)
Drop me in the water
(Drop me in the water, the water)

Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the river
Drop me in the water, the water

Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Drop me in the water, the water

Take me to the river
Wash me in the water, the water
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water

Take me to the river
Wash me in the water, the water
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water, the water
