River Deep, Mountain High

(P. Spector/J. Braay/E. Greenwich)



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, yeah

And it gets deeper (deeper) every day

And it gets higher (higher) day by day

(Do I love you, my oh my?) ooo bab-ay

(River deep, mountain high) yeah, yeah, yeah

If I lost you, would I cry? oh no

Oh, how I love you bab-ay (bab-ay) (bab-ay)



When you were a young girl

Did you have a puppy

That always followed you around?

Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as a puppy

You know I'll never let you down

'Cause it goes on and on (on and on)

Like a river flows

And it gets deeper, bab-ay (deeper)

Heaven knows

And it gets sweeter, bab-ay (sweeter)

As it flows



Do I love you, my oh my?

River deep, mountain high ('cause it's so high)

If I lost you, would I cry?

Oh, how I love you bab-ay (I love you)

(Bab-ay, bab-ay)



How I love you, bab-ay

Like the flower loves the spring

And I love ya, bab-ay

Like the robin loves to sing



Ooo-hoo and I love you, bab-ay

Like a school girl loves her pie, yeah

And I love ya, bab-ay

(River deep and mountain high)



I love ya, bab-ay

The mountain so high (and river deep)

Wooo, oh bab-ay, bab-ay

I love ya, bab-ay (I bet ya do) hoo

I love you! Bab-ay

Do you love me?

Yes I do, oh-ho



Do I love you, my oh my?

(Tell me, tell me, tell me)

River deep, mountain high

Oh, if I lost you (if I lost you),

Would I cry (would I cry, bab-ay?)

Well, how I love you, bab-ay, bab-ay (bab-ay)



Tell me do you love me, bab-ay?

I love you, yeah

River so deep (river deep)

Mountain so high (mountain high)

Oh-ho yeah, bab-ay

So high, yeah (and so deep)

River deep, mountain high

River deep, mountain high....
