Way Other There - Smokey Robinson, The Miracles

I’ve got a lover way over there on the mountain side

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

I can hear her calling to me

Oh, she’s calling my name

So sweet so plain I can hear her saying

(Come to me, baby)

I’m on my way

(Come to me baby)

I’m gonna stay

(Come to me baby)

They tell me that the river’s too deep

And it’s much too wide

Boy, you can’t get over 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

'Cause I hear her saying

(Come to me baby)

I’m on my way

(Come to me baby)

I’m gonna stay

I’m gonna get to you

No matter what I have to do
