(The) Happy Song

"Soul Deep" is a song originally recorded by Robbie Lane and the Disciples in 1966, but best known by a recorded version by The Box Tops. It was the third of three singles released from their 1969 Dimensions LP.[2] Lead vocals were provided by Alex Chilton. The Box Tops' song became an international Top 40 hit, charting modestly at No.22 in the UK and No.18 in the U.S.[3] It reached the Top 10 in Australia (No.7) and in Canada (No.9).[4] "Soul Deep" did best in South Africa, where it reached No.2.

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 runnin' 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 runnin' soul de.ee.ee.ep.
I work myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya.
Nothing I wouldn't do for ya.
Cause my love is a river runnin' 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 runnin' soul de.ee.ee.ep.
All I ever ever hope to be
Depends on your love for me.
Baby believe me, if you should leave me
I'd be nothing but an empty shell.
I know darn 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 runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep.
It's to big to hide and it can't be denied.
My love is a river runnin' soul de.ee.ee.ep.
My love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep.
My love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep...
