W hen you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
T he only doll you ever owned
Well you can treat me
The way you used to treat that rag doll
B ut hurry up cause I'm gettin old
And I get o lder baby, day by day
And it gets s tronger baby, let me say
And it goes d eeper baby,

Stand back ba by, and watch my love grow
And do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry

When you a young girl
Did you have a puppet
T hat always followed you around
Well you can treat me

And I get t hankful baby, in every way
And it gets le ss painful baby, let me say
And I'm gona l ove you every night and day

I love you baby like Aretha Franklin needs to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his partner
I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Well take it h igher..h igher..
