River Deep, Mountain High

Girls Aloud · Other Songs - Girls Aloud

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll

The only doll I've ever owned

Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll

But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger in every way

And it gets deeper let me say

And it gets higher day by day



Do I love you my oh my

River deep, mountain high

If I lost you would I cry

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby



When you were a young boy 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 like a river flows

And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows

And it gets sweeter baby as it grows



Do I love you my oh my

River deep, mountain high

If I lost you would I cry

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby



I love you baby like a flower loves the spring

And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing

And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag

And I love you baby river deep mountain high
