Take Me To The River (feat. Courtney Love)

Empire Cast · Empire: Music From Out, Damned Spot [2015]

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?

(Stay, stay, stay)



Take me to the river (take me to the river)

And wash me down (wash me down)

Won't you cleanse my soul (cleanse my soul)

Put my feet on the ground (put my feet on the ground)



I don't know why she treated me so bad

Look at all those things that we could have had

Love is a notion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I will never regret



I wanna know (I wanna know)

Won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

(Stay, stay, stay)



Take me to the river (take me to the river)

And wash me down (wash me down)

Won't you cleanse my soul (cleanse my soul)

Put my feet on the ground (put my feet on the ground)



Hold me, love me, please me, tease me

Till I can't, till I can't take no more



I don't know why I love you like I do

After all the things you put me through

The sixteen candles burning on my wall

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all



I wanna know (I wanna know)

Oh won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?



Take me to the river (take me to the river)

And wash me down (wash me down)

Won't you cleanse my soul (cleanse my soul)

Put my feet on the ground (put my feet on the ground)



Take me to the river (take me to the river)

And wash me down (wash me down)

Won't you cleanse my soul (cleanse my soul)

Put my feet on the ground (put my feet on the ground)



Take me to the river (take me to the river)

(take me to the river, river

take me, take me, take me to the river)

Take me to the river (take me to the river)

(take me to the river, river

take me, take me, take me to the river)

Take me to the river (take me to the river)

(take me to the river, river

take me, take me, take me to the river)
