River Deep, Mountain High by Ike & Tina Turner is featured in Duets, the fourth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Mercedes and Santana as their song for the duet competition to win a free dinner at Breadstix. Santana insisted that they team up for the duet since their performance of The Boy Is Mine was a smash.
However, they lost the competition to Sam and Quinn so Santana was verbally upset. They seem to have bonded before and after this song, as the Glee Club is surprised and enjoyed the duet.

Mercedes:
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Santana:
Now I love you just the way
I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
Mercedes:
And it gets stronger, in every way
Mercedes and Santana:
And it gets deeper, let me say
Mercedes:
And it gets higher
Mercedes and Santana:
Day by day
Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah!
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Santana:
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around?
Mercedes:
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
Mercedes and Santana:
No, I'll never let you down
Mercedes:
And it grows stronger, like a river flows
Mercedes and Santana:
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
Mercedes:
And it gets sweeter baby
Mercedes and Santana:
As it grows
Do I love you my oh my?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Mercedes:
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
Santana:
And I love you baby like the robin loves to sing
Mercedes:
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
Mercedes and Santana:
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Mercedes:
Oh baby
Santana:
Oh baby!
Mercedes:
Oh woah baby!
Santana:
Ooh Ooh Ooh!
Mercedes:
Ooh Ooh Ooh!
Santana:
Yeah!
Mercedes:
Yeah!
Mercedes and Santana:
(Santana: Do) I love you my oh my, yeah?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
