Marvin Gaye What's The Matter With You Baby Lyrics

(Clarence Paul/William "Mickey" Stevenson/Barney Ales)
(with Mary Wells)
BOTH: Wo wo wo...
HIM: What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
What did I do wrong?
HER: Do you really wanna know?
HIM: I wanna know, what's the matter with you, baby?
HER: You know that you done me wrong
HIM: Sorry, didn't mean no harm
Oh baby, let me take you out tonight
Make every little thing all right
HER: You know you told me there would never be another
And you know you lied
When you lied, you hurt me, baby
HIM: When I left and I went away
I didn't know how much I loved you until today
HER: Oh baby, leavin' me wasn't right And now you wanna take me out tonight
HIM: Mary, won't you let me get on your good side?
HER: If I did that, Marvin, it would hurt my pride
HIM: Hey, let me make it up to you if I can
HER: I can't do it, don't you understand?
HIM: What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
HER: I told you that you done me wrong
HIM: Well, can you forgive me, Mary, please forgive me?
HER: I'll try, but it'll take some time
HIM: Hurry up, hurry up, before I lose my mind
HER: I've got a feelin' everything is gonna work all right
But you can't take me out tonight
BOTH: Wo wo wo... (and fade)
