[MERCEDES]
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I’ve ever owned
[SANTANA]
Now I love you just the way
I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
[MERCEDES]
And it gets stronger, in every way
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
And it gets deeper, let me say
[MERCEDES]
And it gets higher
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
Day by day
Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah!
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
[SANTANA]
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around?
[MERCEDES]
Well, I’m gonna be as faithful as that puppy
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
No, I’ll never let you down
[MERCEDES]
And it grows stronger, like a river flows
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
[MERCEDES]
And it gets sweeter baby
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
As it grows
Do I love you my oh my?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
[MERCEDES]
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
[SANTANA]
And I love you baby like the robin loves to sing
[MERCEDES]
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
[MERCEDES]
Oh baby
[SANTANA]
Oh baby!
[MERCEDES]
Oh woah baby!
[SANTANA]
Ooh Ooh Ooh!

Ooh Ooh Ooh!
[SANTANA]

[MERCEDES & SANTANA, (SANTANA)]
(Do) I love you my oh my, yeah?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Vertaling
[MERCEDES]
Toen ik een klein meisje was
had ik een lappenpop
De enige pop die ik ooit heb gehad
[SANTANA]
Nu hou ik net zo van je als
Ik hield van die lappenpop
maar nu pas is mijn liefde gegroeid
[MERCEDES]
En het wordt sterker, in alle opzichten
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
En het wordt dieper, laat me zeggen
[MERCEDES]
En het wordt hoger
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
Dag na dag
Hou ik van je, mijn oh mijn
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah!
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, wat hou ik van je baby, baby, baby, baby
[SANTANA]
When you were a young boy
Had je een puppy
Die je altijd volgde?
[MERCEDES]
Nou, ik zal net zo trouw zijn als die puppy
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
Nee, ik zal je nooit in de steek laten
[MERCEDES]
En het wordt sterker, zoals een rivier stroomt
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
En het wordt groter schatje, en de hemel weet
[MERCEDES]
And it gets sweeter baby
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
As it grows
Do I love you my oh my?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
[MERCEDES]
Ik hou van je baby zoals een bloem van de lente houdt
[SANTANA]
En ik hou van je baby zoals het roodborstje houdt van zingen
[MERCEDES]
En ik hou van je baby zoals een schooljongen van zijn tas houdt
[MERCEDES & SANTANA]
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
[MERCEDES]
Oh baby
[SANTANA]
Oh baby!
[MERCEDES]
Oh woah baby!
[SANTANA]
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh!
[MERCEDES]
Ooh Ooh Ooh!
[SANTANA]
Yeah!
[MERCEDES]
Yeah!
[MERCEDES & SANTANA, (SANTANA)]
(Do) I love you my oh my, yeah?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
