(Marvin Gaye/Anna Gaye/Elgie Stover)
|
You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams
|
For you to understand what this means, I shall explain
|
I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin' too
|
Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you
|
Ooo darling how could we end up like this?
|
Oh baby let me reminisce
|
|
Oh and when we, woo, stopped the hands of time
|
You set my soul on fire, my one desire
|
Was to love you and think of you with pride
|
And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby
|
We could not bear the mental strain
|
Leave you, I laugh at men too
|
Now you see how much you hurt me
|
But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side
|
Though the many happy times we had
|
Can never really outweigh the bad
|
Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby
|
|
It's time for us to say farewell, farewell my darlin'
|
Maybe we'll meet down the line
|
It's too late for you and me, it's too late for you and I
|
Much too late for you to cry
|
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you and I
|
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry baby
|
Ah we tried, God knows we tried
|
Now it's too late to live and love and ah it's too late baby
|
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry
|
Oh oh ohhh it's much too late
|
Well, all we can do is, we can both try to be happy
|
