You Can Leave, But It's Going to Cost You - Marvin Gaye

I remember like it was yesterday

We were over Gwen's

And we was trying one more time to make amends

Oh yes we was

Suddenly it occured to me it did not matter

Whether I was mad at her

Or she was mad at me

Naw, babe

Understanding my condition

I must surely be a wishing

and a hoping to be free

Some say, you can leave, but it's going to cost you

She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you

Yeah, she said, you can leave, but it's gonna cost you dearly, oh

You can leave, but it's going to cost you, hah, dearly

Sometimes your eyes was red as fire

Intoxicated

Sometimes your spirit was moving on me

Begun to fight me

I had to fight to defend my life

I think I minded

See I've finded

I think I've stimulated

That after fighting

We're making love

Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby

Cause after all, you was my wife

Hey, you can leave, but it's going to cost you

She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you

She would try to put me down, she used to bully

She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you

I used to sing this song and dance around

She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you

Mr. man, what's going down

That young girl is going to cost you

If you want happiness, you got to pay

Oooh baby, used to be the apple of my eye

I come to love you fool

I come to love you baby

You used to be my heart's desire

My heart's desire, yeah

I'm gone, get used to it, baby

I'm gone, get used to it, baby

I'm gone, get used to it, baby

I'm gone, get used to it, baby

I'm gone, get used to it, baby

I'm gone, get used to it

I'm gone, get used to it, baby

I'm gone, get used to it

You tried to have them shut me

Bring me

Tell me what for

So I'd satisfy you baby

You have won the battle

Oh but Daddy's gonna win the war

But Mommy's worked so hard

Tryin'a take my riches

Rich things, too

Being trying to sell my

Oh I tried to communicate

Tryina set my woman

Salmon in my soul

But I was strong, baby

Stood my ground and prayed

Put a lot to work

Wish it was in a position

To upset the judge

You can leave, but it's going to cost you

You can leave, but it's going to cost you

You can leave, but it's going to cost you

You can leave, but it's going to cost you

You use to say that I was a gorgeous hunk of man

That didn't help me baby

Ah, when you was on the stand
