I'll Be Doggone Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Well, I′d be doggone if I wouldn't work all day (baby)
And I′d be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay (baby)
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town

Then I wouldn't be doggone
H-hey, I′d be long gone
Then I wouldn′t be doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Now hey, hey, hey
I′ll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing (baby)
And I′ll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring (baby)
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold


Then I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn′t be doggone)
H-h-hey, I′d be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Oh, I wouldn′t be doggone, baby (wouldn't be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Now did you hear me?
Well, now what I say?
Oh, believe me

Well, every woman should try to be
What ever has man wants her to be
And I don′t want much
All I want from you is for you to be true to me

I'd be doggone if love ain't a man′s best friend, oh, baby
And I′ll be doggone if you ain't the loving end (baby)
Though I know you make me feel like nobody could
If I ever found out that you′re no good


Then I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn′t be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I′d be long gone)
Well, I wouldn't de doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I′d be long gone)
Ah, I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn′t be doggone)
Oh, catch me a train (I'd be long gone)
