Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
And it gets stronger (Stronger)
In every way
And it gets deeper (Deeper)
Let me say
And it gets higher (Higher)
Day by day
Oh, ho
[Chorus]
Ooh, I love you, my, oh, my
Ooh, baby
River deep, mountain high
Yeah, yeah, hey, hey
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, ho
Oh, how I love you, baby
Baby, baby
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
'Cause it goes on and on (On and on)
Like a river flows
And it gets deeper, baby (Deeper)
Heaven knows
And it gets sweeter, baby (Sweeter)
As it grows
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I love you, my, oh, my
River deep, mountain high
Mountain so high
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby
Oh, I love you
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
[Bridge]
I love you, baby
Like a flower loves Spring
And I love you, baby
Like a robin loves to sing
Mhmm, and I love you, baby
Like a schoolgirl loves her pie, yeah
And I love you, baby
River deep and mountain high
[Bridge]
I love you, baby
On mountain so high
And river deep
Woo, oh, baby, baby
I love you, baby
I betcha do
Woo, I love you, baby
Do you love me?
Yes, I do
Oh, ho
[Verse 4]
Ooh, I love you, my, oh, my
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
River deep, mountain high
Oh
If I lost you, would I cry?
If I lost you, I'd cry, baby
Oh, how I love you, baby
Would you cry like a baby?
Baby
Baby
Baby
[Outro]
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, hey, hey, baby (I love you, baby)
Oh, ho, yeah (River deep, and mountain high)
River deep, mountain high (I love you, baby)
River so deep (River deep)
Mountain so, so, so, so, high (Mountain high)
That's how I love you, baby (I love you, baby)
River deep, mountain high
Ah, ha, ha, ha-ha, ha, ha, yeah, baby (I love you, baby)
I love you (River deep, mountain high)
Yeah, yeah, yes, I do
Tell me, tell me, tell me one more time (I love you, baby)
