medley i (live at the london palladium, 1977) - marvin gaye lyrics

[spoken intro]
a-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four
woo, these are songs we recorded back in 1960-something-or-other
i think it didn’t go much further back

ain’t that peculiar

[verse]
honey, you do me wrong but still i’m crazy about you — thank you
stay away too long and i can’t do without you
every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
but each hurt makes my love stronger than before
i know flowers grow from rain
but how can love go from pain?

[chorus]
ain’t that peculiar
a peculiar ality
ain’t that peculiar baby
peculiar as can be

you’re a wonderful one

[intro]
oh, baby, oh
oh baby, ah baby
and you’re a wonderful one
you’re wonderful, baby

[verse]
in you there is a rare quality
your love, baby, it means the world to me
for me you’re always concerned
and you ask nothin’, baby, in return
you’re really more than i deserve
from my heart i mean these words
you’re a wonderful one, oh baby

[outro]
you’re so wonderful
you’re so divine
you’re my wonderful one, ah baby

stubborn kind of fellow

[intro]
yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, oh
yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, ooh

[verse]
i try to put my arms around you
because i wanna hold you tight
every time i reach for you, baby
try to kiss you, you jump out of sight

[chorus]
oh, i’ve got news for you
i’ve got plans for two
i’m a stubborn kind of fellow
got my mind made up to love you

[outro]
oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, ah baby
yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

pride and joy

[verse]
you are, ah baby, my pride and joy
and i love you, i love you, darlin’
like a baby boy loves his toy
you’ve got kisses sweeter than honey
i work seven days a week, give you all my money
that’s why you’re my pride and joy, oh

[outro]
you’re my pride and joy, baby
i’m your baby boy
oh, my father, yeah, ooh

little darling (i need you)

[chorus]
darlin’, i love you
little darlin’ i need you
little darlin’ i want you
little darlin’ i’ve got to have you

[verse]
and if it means giving up my life
i’m going to give it up (give it up), give it up
there’s always one who loves more than the other
i don’t mind, oh, don’t mind
i’m willing to pay the price
have your love at any sacrifice

[chorus]
darlin’, i love you
little darlin’, i need you
little darlin’, i want you
little darlin’, got to have you, oh
oh

i heard it through the grapevine

[verse]
i bet you’re wonderin’ how i knew
’bout your plans to make me blue
with some other guy you knew before
between the two of us guys
you know i loved you more
it took me by surprise i must say
when i found out yesterday

[chorus]
don’t you know that i heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine
oh, i heard it through the grapevine
oh, i’m just about to lose my mind

[outro]
honey, honey, ow
yeah, baby, that’s what i heard
oh sugar, woo, woo
wait a minute, i need a ride

hitch hike

[verse 1]
i’m going to chicago; that’s the last place my baby strayed
(hitch hike) hitch hike, baby (hitch hike)
i’m packin’ up my bags, gonna leave this old town right away
(hitch hike) hitch hike, baby (hitch hike)
i’ve got to find that girl if i have to hitch hike all around the world
(hitch hike)

[verse 2]
chicago city limits, that’s what the sign on the highway read
(hitch hike) hitch hike, baby, woo (hitch hike)
i’m gonna keep movin till i get to that street corner 6th and 3rd
(hitch hike) hitch hike (hitch hike)
gonna find that girl if i have to hitch hike all around the world
(hitch hike) hitch hike, baby

[outro]
hitch hike (hitch hike), ah, hitch a ride (hitch hike)
(hitch hike, hitch hike) hitch hike, baby, wow

you

[verse 1]
oh, you, you i see in my mirror in the mornin’
instead of seein’ me
i see you, i see your face
and inside me is a growing need for your embrace
in the light of day, though our faces meet
someone there might see, so we never speak
’til the dark of night, while the moon is new
when we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous
somethin’s wrong i know, girl, i love you so
i love you, need you, baby, wow

[outro]
you, oh baby

too busy thinking about my baby

[intro]
i’m too busy thinking about my baby

[verse]
i’m too busy thinking about my baby
i ain’t got time for nothin’ else
i ain’t got time to think about the weather
or what makes a flower grow
too busy thinking about my baby, oh baby
i ain’t got time to do no studying
i don’t have time to do no birdy watching
i’m too busy thinking about her, and i love her

how sweet it is (to be loved by you)

[intro]
how sweet it is to be loved by you
how sweet it is to be loved by you, oh now baby
how sweet it is to be loved by you, baby, ah baby now
ow, oh, how sweet it is, oh baby
it’s so sweet loving you
when somebody loves you, ah, it’s so sweet
when somebody loves you, it’s so sweet
when somebody needs you and loves you, it’s so sweet
that’s why you say, ah, how sweet it is to be loved by you
ooh, it’s so doggone sweet now, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ow

[outro]
you know, ladies and gentlemen
we’re gonna take this time to tell you how sweet it is to be loved by you
you see, you stuck by me all these years
and that’s been a long time, twelve or thirteen years, maybe fourteen
it won’t be so long time, the next time, if the lord willing
how sweet it is to be loved by you
you love me, i think you love me
but i wanna tell you i know i love you
i think you love me, i know you love me
when i say it, oh baby
how sweet it is to be loved by you
how sweet it is to be loved by you, baby
you’ve been wonderful
how sweet it is to be loved by you, you, and you, and you
woo, how sweet it is
wow
