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
Kelly:
If you need me, call me,
No matter how far
Will:
Don't worry, baby
Kelly:
I'll be there in a hurry,
You don't have to worry
Both:
'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
Will:
Remember the day when I set you free,
I told you could always, always count on me
Kelly:
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me, someday, somehow
Both:
'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 from you, babe
Will:
Oooo, darling
Kelly:
No wind, no rain,
No winters cold,
Can stop me now
Will:
Don't stop me, baby
Kelly:
'Cause you are my goal,
Oooo, baby
Will (while Kelly is singing):
When you are in trouble,
I'll be there on the double,
Just send for me
(Lots of chorus and random words)
Both:
'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
Ain't no mountain high enough!

Listen, baby,
Pay attention, my dear
Ain't no mountain high,
There is no mountaintop too high to climb
Ain't no valley low,
There is no valley too low to traverse
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
There is no river too wide to ford
If you need me, call me,
If ever you require my presence, give me a call
No matter where you are,
Regardless of your location
No matter how far
No matter the distance between us
Don't worry, baby
Do not fret, my love
I'll be there in a hurry,
I will arrive quickly
You don't have to worry
No need to be anxious
Remember the day when I set you free,
Recall the moment I released you
I told you could always, always count on me
I assured you of my reliability
From that day on, I made a vow,
Since then, I pledged
I'll be there when you want me, someday, somehow
I will come whenever you desire, someday, no matter how

Neither wind nor rain
No winters cold,
Nor winter's harsh cold

'Cause you are my goal,
Because you are my aim
When you are in trouble,
If ever you find yourself in distress
I'll be there on the double,
Swiftly, I shall come
Just send for me
Simply summon me
'Cause, baby, there
Because, my dear, there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
No towering heights can stop me
Ain't no valley low enough,
No deep chasms can impede me
Ain't no river wide enough,
No expansive rivers can block me
To keep me from getting to you, babe
In order to prevent me from reaching you, my love

These two were the best two talents show winners ever.

Here is a fact for you Simon never wanted Will Young to win Pop Idol, he wanted the guy who finished runner up to win Gareth Gates.
@MrRibby88
Well Gareth was sexier than Will, wasn't he? And that sold CDs at that time in 2001.
@Maxipadtriplesix
This is horrible, I can't believe Will Young disrespected Marvin Gaye like that and sang this song as if he were in a Boy Band.
