VERSE 4
OUT-TRO
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 wont 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....
Bridge
Hold me love me squeeze me tease me till I die till I die
Repeat verse one, then Chorus, then
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dip me in the water dip me in the water baby
