Temptations, The - Way Over There Lyrics






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 and i can hear her calling to me

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
i'm gonna stay
come to me baby

they tell me that the river's to deep and it's much to wide for you can't get across 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 a did before when she mine all mine, cause 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
i'm gonna get to you
come to me baby
no matter what i have to do
come to me baby

they tell me that the river's to deep and it's much to wide for you can't make it 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 a did before when she mine all mine, cause 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
ooh, baby when i get there, i ain't going nowhere, because a river in't deep enough, a mountain ain't steap enough to keep me from your side

    The miracles put it out.but the tempts own it..no disrespect.to the. Great smoky. Robinson..

  7. J.... P....

    Another classic.by the greatest falsetto of all time..with those incredible tempts in the background.

    There is nothing I enjoy more than the 1960's when Eddie was on top and glorious harmonies of the other guys in between and Melvin at the bottom just keeping the beat, OMG, it's heavenly!!!

  9. A.... K....

    Bought the original Miracles single in '60 when Miracles, Smokey, Tamla, and Motown were essentially never heard of. Smokey was on my payroll for years.

    S.... ....

    Is that right? What kind work did Smokey do before he hit the big time in music? He's one the most celebrated songwriters of all time.

    S.... ....

    I meant I was spending money on them for all their singles.

    S.... ....

    Thanks I sure got that wrong.

  17. D.... P....

    Love the music and the beautiful blending of the voices esp Melvin.

  18. l.... ....

    LISTEN TO MELVIN'S BASS.

  19. f.... h....

    The Miracles sing this song better.

    f.... h....

    +frankie hunter This was off the Temptations Album [yep before cds there were albums] titled The Temptations sing Smokey. Smoky wrote all the songs.

    f.... h....

    This belongs to The Miracles

    f.... h....

    Smokey wrote majority of music lyrics at Motown. The man's a poet and do know it. He should've gotten more credit than anyone at Motown.

  20. c.... r....

    SO EPIC-THE TEMPS AT THEIR PEAK POWER.THANK YOU,WILLIE!

  21. M.... ....

    Low ridin...
