CeeLo Green - River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river that
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river that
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me, you know
She put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty
She made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river that
I could skate away on i'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best
Baby that I've ever had
And I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and singing
Songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river that
I could skate away on yes, away on
