"River Deep - Mountain High"
(P. Spector, Barry, Greenwich)
Producer: Phil Spector
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...
And do I love you, my oh my;
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
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...
And do I love you, my oh my;
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
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 can love you, baby, like a robin loves to sing...
And I love you, baby, like a schoolboy loves his pad;
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high...
Baby...
Baby...
Baby, oh yeah, yeah
OW!
Yeah...
And do I love you, my oh my;
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry;
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby...
