[Verse 1]
Just as sure as I live
I will love you alone
You belong in my arms
You belong in my home
I don't expect you to be
Someone else that you're not
All I expect you to give
Is all that you've got, so
[Chorus]
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just say you love me
Long, strong and true and
Move me no mountain
To prove that you do
Move me no mountain
To prove that you do
[Verse 2]
Fill my life with your love
You're my bread, you're my wine
Fill my life with your love
And I'll fill yours with mine
You'll never see me cry tears of regret
And it's fine with me if what I see is what I get
[Chorus]
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Say you love me, baby
Long, strong and true
Move me no mountain
To prove that you do
Move me no mountain
To prove that you do
[Bridge]
Oh, say you love me
Just love me, baby
Just say you love me, oh, oh
[Outro]
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Oh, oh, oh, don't move, don't move
Say you do, say that you love me, love me
Don't need to move me no mountain, mountain
Say you do, say that you love me, love me
Don't need to move me no mountain, mountain
Say you do, say that you love me
Move Me No Mountain was written by Aaron Schroeder & Jerry Ragovoy.
Move Me No Mountain was produced by Arif Mardin.
Chaka Khan released Move Me No Mountain on Wed Mar 26 1980.
Given the breadth of Chaka Khan’s discography, this is a hefty affirmation coming from the artist herself.
The original artist to perform it was the girl group Love Unlimited in 1974.
Even before Chaka’s version, Dionne Warwick covered the song in 1975.
After Chaka, no one dared touch it until UK soul band Soul II Soul covered it for a single in 1992.
