Dartmoor is an area of moorland in south Devon, England. Protected by National Park status, it covers 954 square kilometres (368 sq mi).
The granite upland dates from the Carboniferous period of geological history. The moorland is capped with many exposed granite hilltops known as tors, providing habitats for Dartmoor wildlife. The highest point is High Willhays, 621 m (2,037 ft) above sea level. The entire area is rich in antiquities and archaeology.
Dartmoor is managed by the Dartmoor National Park Authority whose 22 members are drawn from Devon County Council, local district councils and Government.
Parts of Dartmoor have been used as military firing ranges for over 200 years. The public enjoy extensive access rights to Dartmoor (including restricted access to the firing ranges) and it is a popular tourist destination. The organisation responsible for tourism on Dartmoor is the Dartmoor Partnership.
Dartmoor includes the largest area of granite in Britain, with about 625 square kilometres (241 sq mi) at the surface, though most of it is under superficial peat deposits. The granite (or more accurately adamellite) was intruded at depth as a pluton into the surrounding sedimentary rocks during the Carboniferous period, probably about 309 million years ago. It is generally accepted that the present surface is not far below the original top of the pluton; evidence for this includes partly digested shale xenoliths, contamination of the granite and the existence of two patches of altered sedimentary rock on top of the granite. A considerable gravity anomaly is associated with the Dartmoor pluton as with other such plutons.[citation needed] Measurement of the anomaly has helped to determine the likely shape and extent of the rock mass at depth.
Man what's, what's wrong with you.....
Bet you think I don't love you, Baby
Bet you think that I, I don't care
But I wanna tell you, you got something
And I'm loving it with all my heart
I dont wanna have a part
I don't want to be with nobody but you, no no
I don't wanna be with no one but you
I wanna be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man
Come on, rock me in your arms, cause I know you can
Don't you know that you can call on me Baby
All you gotta do is say you will
Cause I'm ready, just to love you
And put end to all your doubts
I know we can work it out
I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't wanna be with no one but you
I wanna be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man
Come on, rock me in your arms, cause I know you can
Man I love you, so but an end to your fantasy
Or you just might, just might blow if off
Get yourself together and Baby when you do
You gonna see, gonna see I' ve been true to you
Cause
I don't want to be with nobody but you, no no
I don't wanna be with no one but you
I wanna be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man
come on, rock me in your arms, cause I know you can
Can't you see that's you and me
Let us be, let us be for eternity
I wanna be, nobody but you
I love you with all my heart
I don't want that we never part
