River Deep-Mountain High Lyrics

When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Well, I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger (Stronger) in every way
And it gets deeper. (Deeper) Let me say
That it gets higher (Higher) day by day. Oh

Do I love you, my oh my, oooh, baby
River deep, mountain high. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If i lost you, would I cry. Oh, oh
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy that always followed you around
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never let you down

'Cause it goes on and on (On and on) like the river flows
And it gets deeper, baby, (Deeper) heaven knows
And it gets sweeter, baby, (Sweeter) as it goes

Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
I said so high
If I lost you, would I cry
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby
I love you, baby, like a flower loves the spring
And I love you, baby, like a robin loves to sing
Oooh, oooh, and I love you, baby, like a schoolgirl likes her pie, yeah
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high

I love you, baby
A mountain so high, a river deep. Oooh
Oh, oh, baby, baby
I love you, baby. I bet you do
Oooh, I love you, baby. Tell me you love me
Yes I do. Oh

Do I love you, my oh my
Tell me, tell me, tell me
River deep, mountain high. Oh, oh, oh
(If I lost you, would I cry.) If I lost you, would I cry, baby
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, (Baby) baby

Tell me do you love me, baby
I love you, yeah
(I love you, baby,) River so deep, mountain so high
(River deep, mountain high.) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I love you, baby,) Oh, ho, ho, yeah
(River deep, mountain high.) River deep, mountain high
(I love you, baby,) River so deep, mountain so, so, so, so high
(River deep, mountain high.) That's why I love you, baby
(I love you, baby,) High, high, high, high, high, high, high, yeah
(River deep, mountain high.) I love you, baby, yes, yes I do
(I love you, baby,) Tell me, tell me, tell me one more time
(River deep, mountain high.)
