Smokey Robinson - Way Over There (1960) lyrics
rate meI've got a lover way over there<br />
On the mountain side and I know that's where I should be<br />
Don't you know I've got a lover way over there<br />
Across the river wide and I can hear her calling to me<br />
<br />
Oh, she's calling my name<br />
So sweet and so plain<br />
And I can hear her saying<br />
<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm on my way<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm gonna stay<br />
Come to me baby<br />
<br />
They tell me that the river's to deep<br />
And it's much to wide for you can't get across to the other side<br />
But they don't know I got to get there<br />
And hold her in my arms just one more time<br />
<br />
Like a did before<br />
When she mine all mine<br />
'Cause I can hear her saying<br />
<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm on my way<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm gonna stay<br />
<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm gonna get to you<br />
Come to me baby<br />
No matter what I have to do<br />
Come to me baby<br />
<br />
They tell me that the river's to deep<br />
And it's much to wide for you can't make it over to the other side<br />
But they don't know I got to get there<br />
And hold her in my arms just one more time<br />
<br />
Like a did before when she mine all mine<br />
'Cause I can hear her saying<br />
<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm on my way<br />
Come to me baby<br />
I'm gonna stay<br />
Come to me baby<br />
<br />
Ooh, baby when I get there<br />
I ain't going nowhere<br />
'Cause a river ain't deep enough<br />
A mountain ain't steep enough<br />
To keep me from your side
