When you were a young girl
Did you want a rag doll?
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I'll love you just the way you loved
That rag doll
Only now my love has grown
It gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry?
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
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, never let you down
Cos it gets stronger as the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry?
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
I love you baby like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby like a wrong man likes to sin
I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry?
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
