E
When you were a young girl
 A
Did you have a rag doll
                       E
The only doll you ever owned
Well you can treat me
            A
The way you used to treat that rag doll
                               E
But hurry up cause I'm gettin' old

          B                   E
And I get older baby, day by day
               B                   E
And it gets stronger baby, let me say
             B
And it goes deeper baby
                   E
Than you'll ever know
            B                  E
Stand back baby, and watch my love grow

Chorus:
D
And do I love you, my oh my
E
River deep, mountain high
D
If I lost you would I cry
E
Bet your life, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby

When you a young girl
Did you have a puppet
That always followed you around
Well you can treat me
The way you used to treat that puppet, baby
I swear I'll never put you down, no I won't

And I get thankful baby, in every way
And it gets less painful baby, let me say
And I'm gonna love you every night and day
Look out baby, my love way is comin' your way
Yes it is

Chorus:
And do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
And if I lost you would I cry
Bet your life, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby

E
I love you baby like
a flower needs the spring
I love you baby like
Aretha Franklin needs to sing

A
And I love you baby like
a schoolboy loves his partner
E
I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
I'm gonna take it higher (higher)
Take it higher (higher)
I'll take ya higher (higher)
Get you up there (higher)
Get on with me baby (higher)
Give it to me, babe (higher)

Give it all, baby (higher)
Give it all, baby (higher)
Aah (higher)
Aah, give it all (higher)
Give it all (higher)
Woo yeah
