I'd like to dedicate this song to Little Junior Parker

A cousin of mine who's gone on

But we'd like to kinda carry on in his name, by singing

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

After all the 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 allowed to stay here, here, hey

Take me to the river

Wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treated me so bad

After all the 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

Won't you tell me

Am I allowed to stay here, hey, hey

Yeah

Hold me, love me

Please me, tease me

'Til I can't, 'til I can't

Can't take anymore, hey

Take me to the river

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

After all the things that you put me through

There's sixteen candles that burn on my wall

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know

Won't you tell me

Am I allowed to stay here, here, hey

Yeah

I wanna know

Take me to the river

I wanna know

Won't you dip me in the water

I wanna know

Won't you wash me in the water

Wash me in the water

Wash me in the water

Won't you wash me in the water

Hey, hey

Feelin' good
