Soul Deep Lyrics

Darlin' I don't know much
I know I love you so much
My life depends on your touch
And my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me, it's-a soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep

I worked myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya
Nothing I wouldn't do for ya
'Cause my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me, it's-a soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep, uh

All I ever am or hope to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby, believe me if you should leave me
I'd be nothing but a empty shell
I know darned well, I can tell, now

I don't know much
But I know I love you so much
My life depends on your touch
And my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me, it's-a soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep

My love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me, it's-a soul deep
My love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me, it's-a soul deep
Well my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me, it's-a soul deep
