Some time ago I told you that I needed you
It hurt me so when you said our romance was through
I loved you long, you done me wrong
'Cause this is what you said to me

You've got to move two mountains, drain a river dry
Swim the deepest ocean, pull a star from the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

I tried so hard 'cause all my love for you was true
It broke my heart, my best was not enough for you
Whenever I asked you for a kiss
You always told me this

You've got to move two mountains, drain a river dry
Swim the deepest ocean, pull a star from the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

Tables turned and here you are a-beggin me
To take you back, you got me feelin' sad and blue
I feel so bad I wanna cry
I ain't gonna tell you no lie

You've got to move two mountains, drain a river dry
Swim the deepest ocean, pull a star from the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then (I'll fall in love with you)

You gotta move (two mountains, drain a river dry)
You gotta swim (pull a star from the sky)
And if you wanna prove (that your love is true)
(Maybe then I'll fall in love with you)

Over again, you gotta move (two mountains, drain a river dry)
You gotta swim (pull a star from the sky)
If you wanna prove (your love is true)
(Maybe then I'll fall in love with you)

Baby you've gotta move ..... FADE
