Move Me No Mountain
Chaka Khan · Naughty [1980]
I will love you alone
You belong in my arms
You belong in my home
I don't expect you to be
Someone else that you're not
All I expect you to give
Is all that you've got, so
[Chorus:]
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just say you love me, baby
Long, strong and true
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do
Fill my life with your love
You're my bread, you're my wine
Fill my life with your love
And I'll fill yours with mine
You'll never hear me cry
Tears of regret
It's fine with me if all I see
Is all I get
Oh
Just say you love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just love me, baby
Say that you do
Just love me, baby...
