(Take me to the river, drop me in the water)
(Take me to the river, drop me in the water, water)
I don't know why I love her like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes; I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that you'll tell me, 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)
Take me in the river (Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water (Drop me in the water, water)
I don't know why you treat me so bad (ooh ooh ooh)
Think of all the things we could have had (ooh ooh ooh)
Love is an ocean that I can't forget (ooh ooh ooh)
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know (woo) that you'll tell me, I love to stay
Oh oh oh, take me to the river (Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water (Drop me in the water)
Take me in the river (Take me to the river)
Drop me in the water (Drop me in the water, water)
Hug 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 (Take me to the river)
Push me in the water (Drop me in the water, water) Ow! Ooh!
Good job, Jerry! Good job, Jerry!
Mr. Jones! 12:30! Are you ready to rock! C'mon! Let's go!
I don't know why I love you like I do (ooh ooh ooh)
All the changes that you put me through (ooh ooh ooh)
Sixteen candles there on my wall (ooh ooh ooh)
And here am I the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know (oh) that you'll tell me, I love to stay
I wanna 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 (Take me to the river)
