(Marvin Gaye)

You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...
|
if you think back about what you really said, what it's all about, honor, loving and
|
obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it
|
should, it should be lies because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what
|
you said, you lie to God. The words should be changed
|
|
Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times
|
Again and again and again, and that isn't all
|
I gave my love to you each time to make amends
|
Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it
|
Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake
|
What to do? Make you pay, for leaving you, my fine, is to pay forever
|
So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again
|
Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you
|
With all my heart as long as you want me to baby
|
|
Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time
|
Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid
|
So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger
|
Do you remember all of the fights we had?
|
You say you love me with all your heart
|
If you ever loved me will all of your heart
|
You'd never take $1 million to part
|
I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby
|
Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies
|
I really tried, you know how I tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?
|
And on top of that you have scared the life, my name
|
But I can't understand, 'cause if you love me
|
How could you turn me into nothin' least
|
Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you?
|
Best I could, you were so inviting and your love was like mellow wine
|
Pains of love, miles of tears, after lasting for my lifetime
|
Broken hearts last for years and break away to the blue-day sunshine
|
One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again
|
But we're not really bitter babe
|
I promise you all the love in the world, good love in the world
|
But I know you'll never be satisfied just to have me by your side
|
Memories haunt you all the time, I will never leave, you're mine
|
God judged me on His side; you've said bad things and you've lied
|
Still I remember some of the good things baby
|
Of love after dark and picnics in parks
|
Those are the days I'd love to get in my life
|
I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared babe
|
I'd rather remember all the fun we had
|
All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right
|
All we did was fuss and fight
|
It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all
|
I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through
|
You try your best, you say I gave you no rest
|
|
[Repeat and fade:]
|
When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?
|

When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You
