When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You (Reprise) - Marvin Gaye

You know, when you say your marriage vows

They're supposed to be for real, I mean

Well if you think back about what you really said, y'know about

honour and loving and obeying

until death do us part and all

But it shouldn't be that way,

it should, it shouldn't be lies

because though it turns out to be lies

and if you don't honour what you said

You've lied to God

The words should be changed

Now as I recall

We tried a million times

Again again and again

And that isn't all

I gave my love to you

Each time to make amends

Suddenly, I start to realise

I can't make it

Pretty birds

Fly away

I have to leave you

For my heart'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 tried to love and protect you

With all my heart long as you want me to, baby

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

pushy things

You say you love with all your heart

If you ever loved me

with all of your heart

You'd never take a million

dollars to part

I really tried

You know I tried, oh baby

Although we tried

All of those promises

Was nothing but lies

And I really tried

You know how hard I tried

We really lied, didn't we baby

And on top of that

You have scandalised my name

What I can't understand is if you love me

How could you turn me into the police

Didn't I love you good

and try to take care of you best I could

You were so refined

and your love is like mellow wine

Pains of love miles of tears

Enough to last me for my lifetime

Broken hearts last for years

so break away to the new day sunshine

One thing I can promise, friend

I'll never be back again

But I'm not really bitter, baby

I wish you all the luck and all the good love in the world

(Good love in the world)

But I know you'll never be satisfied

No, just to have me standing by your side

Memories haunt you all the time

I will never leave your mind

You got judgement on your side

You say bad things and you've lied

Still I remember some of the good things baby

like love after dark and beatniks in parks

Those are the days I'd like to forget

in my life

I'd rather remember

Remember the joy we shared, baby

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 put me through what you put me through

You try your best

You say I gave you no rest

When did you stop loving me

When did I stop loving you

When did you stop loving me

When did I stop loving you

Oh, when did you stop loving me

When did I stop loving you
