I Live for You Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

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
Till the dark of night while the moon is new
When we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous

Though it′s wrong I know
Girl, I love you so
Yes, I need you
I need you baby

Oh you, my sweetest joy, you can afford the best of life
I'm just a hard workin' boy
Oh, you′ve given your love to me
Girl, I can′t let you hurt yourself by being seen with me


We're worlds apart, so close yet very far
So we must hide the love we′re feelin' in our hearts
We meet in shadows, your friends must never know
That we are lovers, darlin′, although it hurts me so

For your sake no one must see
The best of love you're givin′ me
But you know I need you baby

You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you

One day I'll make the break, my love will start to shine
I can tell the world that you are mine, all mine
Till then we must go the way we have before
And never let it show we love each other so

I'll never one way track
′Cause there′s no turnin' back
Oh, I need you baby

You, you I see, oh, in my mirror in the mornin′
Instead of seein' me
I see you, I see your face
