Edwin Starr — Way Over There

I've got a lover way over there on the mountainside And I know that's where I should be Don't you know I've got a lover way over there across the river wide And I can hear her calling to me Oh, she's calling my name So sweet and so plain And I can hear her saying (Come to me, baby) I'm on my way (Come to me, baby) And I'm gonna stay (Come to me, baby) They tell me that the river's too deep And it's much too wide Son, you just can't make it to the other side But they don't know I got to get there And hold her in my arms just one more time Like I did before when she was mine, all mine Oh, she's a calling my name (Come to me, baby) So sweet and so plain (Come to me, baby) And I can hear her saying (Come to me, baby) I'm gonna get to you (Come to me, baby) No matter what I have to do (Come to me, baby) (I need you, baby, I need you) Hold on (I need you, baby, I need you) Hold on They tell me that the river's too deep And it's much too wide Son, you just can't make it to the other side But they don't know I got to get there And hold her in my arms just one more time Like I did before when she was mine, all mine And baby when I get there Girl, I ain't going nowhere Girl, I got to tell you that the river ain't deep enough The mountain ain't steep enough to keep me from your side I tell you I'm on my way And I'm gonna stay Hold on, baby Hold on Hold on, baby Let me tell you that the river ain't deep enough The mountain ain't steep enough
