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
