I got a new dress just to meet you downtown
Will you walk me through the park just to show it off?
I can pull my hair back in that tight way that you like
If you wrap me in your arms, and you never stop
Heart beats so loud that it's drowning me out
Living in an April shower
You're pouring down, baby, drown me out
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just like a river
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just like a river
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you go on forever
You're just like a river
Blowing bubbles in the bath, I can't stop from thinking lately
You could be the one, have the honor of my babies
Hope they have your eyes and that crooked smile
Was a desert before I met you, I was in a drought
Heart beats so loud that it's drowning me out
Living in an April shower
You're pouring down, baby, drown me out
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just like a river
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just like a river
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you go on forever
You're just like a river
You're never running dry, oh
I feel you everywhere
Your face is all in my hair
Covered up in your sweat
It turns me on that you care, baby
Your love, it flows just like a river
You're just like a river (That's what you are)
You're just like a river (That's what you are)
You're just like a river (That's what you are)
You're just like a river
You're just like a river
Heart beats so loud that it's drowning me out
It's just like a river
Living in an April shower
You go on forever
You're pouring down, baby, drown me out
You're just like a river
