Diana Ross/The Supremes/The Temptations Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen baby, ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me call me, no matter where you are
No matter how far
Don't worry, baby
Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry
You don't need to worry
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darlin' (yeah, baby)
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

(Oh no, darlin') No wind, no rain
Or winter's cold can stop me, baby
(Oh no) 'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough




Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough

@newanthonystyles8361

Carol kaye on bass! The brady bunch bass player..I think the bass on brady bunch song is funky .she did do some recording with Motown! Who knew?šŸ˜Ž

@darrylchambers7801

Yes she also does stellar job on theme from Mission Impossible

@AfferbeckBeats

A strange little version of this song. Higher tempo than others. The intro differs from versions like Marvin and Tammi's as it has a guitar doubling the bassline, giving a clicky attack that sounds vastly different from Jamerson's bass in the rest of the song.

@jocknarn3225

Guitars; the Oreo Brothers:Robert White, damn 4got the names

@carter84262

I think they would be Joe Messina & Eddie Willis

@darrylchambers7801

Uriel Jones & Pistol Allen on šŸ„ for all 3 versions of this song

@divinewilliams3055
