When you were a young girl
Did you have 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 robin likes to sing
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
