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)
