Way Over There

Way Over There - Smokey Robinson/The Miracles

I've got a lover way over there on the mountainside

And I know that's where I should be

And don't you know

I've got a lover way over there

Across the river wide I can hear her calling to me

Oh she's callin' my name so sweet and so plain

I can hear her saying come to me baby

I'm going away

I'm gonna stay

Ah they tell me that the river's too deep

And it's much too wide

For you can't get across to the other side

But they don't know

I've got to get there and hold her in my arms

Just a one more time like

I did before when she was mine all mine

Cause I can hear her saying come to me baby

I'm going away

I'm going to stay

I'm gonna get to you no matter what I have to do

Ah they tell me that the river's too deep

And it's much too wide

For you can't make it over to the other side

But they don't know

I've got to get there and hold her in my arms

Just a one more time like

I did before when she was mine all mine

Cause I can hear her saying come to me baby

I'm going away

I'm going to stay

Oh baby when I get back I ain't going nowhere

Ah because the river ain't deep enough

Or mountain ain't steep enough

To keep me from your side

I got to ya ya ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya ya ya
