Lyrics The Commitments

The Commitments

Take Me To The River

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, am I in love to stay?

Take me, take me

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 wont forget

My sweet sixteen now I never regret

I wanna know

Won't you tell me, am I in love to stay?

Hold me

Love me

Squeeze me

Tease me

'Till I die, 'till I die

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, am I in love to stay?

Take me, take me

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
