Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The Supremes and The Temptations came together to create a soulful rendition of the popular song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." The lyrics speak of a love so strong and committed that no obstacle or distance can keep the two lovers apart. The first verse describes this devotion, with the singer stating that there is no mountain too high, no valley too low, and no river too wide that would prevent him from coming to his lover's aid when she needs him.
The second verse is equally compelling, beginning with a reference to the day the singer set his lover free. Despite the breakup, the singer is determined to keep his promise to always be there for her, no matter what. He reassures her that he will never let distance, weather, or anything else prevent him from being by her side.
The chorus repeats the central message of the song, emphasizing that there is truly nothing that can keep the two lovers apart. It is clear that even though they are currently apart, their love is strong enough to bridge any gap and overcome any obstacle.
Overall, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is a testament to the power of true love and commitment. It's a song about being there for your partner, no matter what, and never letting anything get in the way of your love.

@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.
