Eva Cassidy

Transposer:

I don't know why I love you like I do After all the changes you put me through Stole my money my cigarettes I haven't seen the worst of it yet I wanna know boy won't you tell me Tell me how can I stay here with you Won't you take me to the river Wash me down Take me to the river Put my feet back on the ground I don't know why you treat me so bad After all the good times that we've had You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall Now who's the biggest fool of us all I wanna know won't you tell me Tell me how can I stay here with you Hold me squeeze me Love me and you can tease me Till I can't take it no more... Oh yeah yeah yeah (x4) I don't know why I love you like I do After all the changes you put me through Love is a notion I can't forget My sweet sixteen I would never regret I wanna know won't you tell me Tell me how can I stay here with you Won't you take me to the river Wash me down Take me to the river Put my feet back on the ground Take me to the river Wash me down Wont you take me to the river Put my feet back on the ground yeah Take me to the river Wash me down Won't you take me the river Put my feet back on the ground yeah (x3) (hold last

Dans cette chanson, l'interprète exprime un amour profondément contradictoire, partagé entre la passion et la souffrance. Elle se questionne sur les raisons qui la poussent à aimer une personne qui lui cause tant de peines, tout en se remémorant des moments heureux passés ensemble. Elle évoque aussi le désir de retrouver un certain équilibre, en cherchant refuge et purification à travers un voyage symbolique vers la rivière, représentant une forme de renouveau. C'est une exploration des complexités des relations amoureuses, où l'on se sent à la fois pris au piège et désireux de comprendre ce qui nous rattache encore à l'autre, malgré les blessures infligées. La mélodie, pleine d'émotion, accompagne ce combat intérieur et cette quête d'apaisement.
