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.

And it gets stronger (Stronger) in every way.
And it gets deeper (Deeper) every day.
And it gets higher (Higher) day by day.
Oh.

Do I love you, my oh my. Oooh, baby.
River deep, mountain high.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If I lost you, would I cry? Oh, oh.
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, 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 let you down,

'Cause it goes on and on (On and on) like the river flows.
And it gets deeper, baby, (Deeper) heaven knows.
And it gets sweeter, baby, (Sweeter) as it grows.

Do I love you, my oh my.
River deep, mountain high.
I said so high.
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby.

I love you, baby, like the flower loves the spring.
And I love you, baby, like a robin loves to sing.
Oooh, oooh, and I love you, baby, like a schoolgirl likes her pie, yeah.
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high.

I love you, baby.
A mountain so high, a river deep. Oooh.
Oh, oh, baby, baby.
I love you, baby.
I bet you do.
Oooh, I love you, baby.
Tell me you love me.
Yes I do. Oh.

Do I love you, my oh my.
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
River deep, mountain high. Oh, oh.
(If I lost you, would I cry?) If I lost you, would I cry, baby?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby (baby), baby.

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, yeah, yeah.
(I love you, baby,) Oh, oh, ho, yeah.
(River deep, mountain high.) River deep, mountain high.
(I love you, baby,) River so deep, mountain so, so, so, so high.
(River deep, mountain high.) That's how I love you, baby.
(I love you, baby,) High, high, high, high, high, high, high, yeah.
(River deep, mountain high.) I love you, baby, yes, yes, I do.
(I love you, baby,) Tell me, tell me, tell me one more time.
