Just to Keep You Satisfied [a cappella With alternate vocal] Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

You were my wife, my life, my hope and dreams
For you to understand what this means
I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin′, too
Yes, I'd forget it all
Once in bed with you

Oh darlin′
How could we end up like this?
Oh baby, let me reminisce
Ooh, and when we, ooh, we'd stop the hands of time
You set my soul on fire my one desire was to love you
And think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied

Oh baby, oh baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me


But, if you ever need me
I'll be by yor side
Though the many happy times we had
Will never really outweigh the bad
Oh, I never loved nobody
Like I loved you, baby

Now it′s time for us to say farewell
Farewell, my darlin′
Maybe we'll meet down the line
It′s too late for you and me

It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry
It′s too late for you and me
T-too late for you and me
It's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry, baby

It′s too late for you and me (oh, we tried)
It's too late for you and I (God knows we tried)
It's too late for you and me (now it′s too late)
Much too late for you to cry (to live and learn)

It′s too late for you and me (ah)
It's too late for you and me (much too late)
It′s too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry, baby


It's too late for you and me (oh, oh)
It′s too late for you and I (oh, oh, oh, oh)
It's too late for you and me (it′s much too late)
Much too late for you to cry

It's too late for you and me (all we can do, is we can both try to be happy)
Too late
Much too late for you and I (too late, too late)
It's too late for you and me (oh, we try)
It′s too late for you and I (we try, we try)
