Let me tell you a story
About the body and blood
There's a fire below
Deep in the river of love
Hey, pretty mama, I'm just trying to be polite
I wanna make you feel the rhythm of the river tonight
And when the story is over
You'll be satisfied

Honey, honey, honey don't you understand
To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man

Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby, pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Won't ya take me down
I wanna drown
In your river of love

If you're a little lovesick
Woman, I got the cure
Let me be your preacher
And you can be my whore
When I feel your heart bumpin', honey, don't say not
I wanna dive in your river
Take you down real slow
And then your body will quiver
And the river will flow

Honey, honey, honey don't you understand
To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man

Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby, pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Won't ya take me down
I wanna drown
In your river of love

Down, down, down let me take ya
Down, down, down I wanna take ya
Down, down, down let me take ya
Down, down, down I wanna take ya
Down, down, down, down...

Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby, pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Take me down
I wanna drown

Take you down to the river of love
Baby, pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Take me down
I wanna drown
In your river of love...
