Take Me to the River - Shalamar

You know, everybody’s got a fantasy

I got a thing, you got a thing

You know what I’m talkin' about?

But let me tell you about my thing

I’ve always had this fantasy

About goin' to the planet of Venus

And visit Venus, queen of love

And swim with her

In the famous River of Love

So one night while I was asleep

I must’ve been dreamin'

'Cause I heard a voice, it said:

You have been elected

To take a trip afar and go galactic

And Venus is your destination

The Venus with love, your space connection

Is this really paradise I’m in

And are you really standin' here next to me

And does your river flow with love so deep

Girl, will you take a swim with me

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me to the river, yeah

Baby, why don’t you come

Why don’t you come with me

Rock 'n rollin' with the tide

Oh, yeah, let me be

Your mighty macho man, hey

Baby bubba

Shake your, shake your booty, baby

I’d really sock it

I’d really sock it to you, mama

I know you love me

I know you really love me, baby

You know, by this time

She didn’t quite understand my language

Comin' from a distant place

You know, all this slang I use

But I know she understood

Where I was comin' from

And I know she dug it

'Cause when I smiled at her, she smiled at me

And you know, being the gentleman

That I am and everything

I didn’t wanna just take advantage of the lady

I sat there, I talked to her

And I asked her, I said:

Is it wrong to touch your pretty hair

And is it wrong to say that love is fair

And is it wrong for me to be a man

And is it wrong to wanna touch your hand

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me, take me to the river, baby

Take me to the river, oh, yeah

Tell me, why don’t you come

Why don’t you come with me

Rock 'n rollin' with the tide

That’s right, oh, yeah, let me be

Your mighty macho man

Take me to the river, your river

Give me your hand

Let me be your mighty macho man

I’ll make everything all right

Rock 'n rollin' with the tide

Take me to the river

Baby bubba

Shake your, shake your booty, baby

I’d really sock it

I’d really sock it to you, mama

I know you love me

I know you really love me, baby

Take me, take me

Take me to the river, take me

To swim with Venus, queen of love

Take me, take me

Take me to the river, take me

I wanna go galactic with you, baby

Take me, take me

Take me to the river, take me

Let me be your mighty macho man

Take me, take me, oh, baby mama

Take me to the river, take me…
