THE SUPREMES lyrics - River Deep, Mountain High

(P. Spector, J. Barry, E. Greenwich)



When I was alittle 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-ho

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 that puppy

You know I'll never let you down

Cause it goes on an on (on an on)

Like the 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 I love you bab-ay, bab-ay (bab-ay)



Tell me do ya love me bab-ay?

I love you, yeah

River so deep (river deep)

Mountain so high (mountain high)

Oh-ho yeah bab-ay



[Fades]



So high, yeah (and so deep)

River deep, mountain high

River so deep mountain high....
