marvin gaye – medley iii (live at the london palladium, 1977) lyrics

[spoken intro: marvin g-ye]
you know, ladies and gentlemen
very few performers have the privilege of singing with four marvelous ladies during the course of a career, or any other time for that matter
i consider myself very lucky privileged to perform with mary wells, miss mary wells, kim weston, miss diana ross, and miss tammi terrell
oh, she’d like that, she would, she’d like that, thank you
for her, i thank you too
so in order to perform these songs for you, a charming lady dancer is about to come to the stage to -ssist us
so won’t you get together out there and welcome to the stage miss florence lyles, ladies and gentlemen
come on, flo, baby
thanks, baby
yes, baby

you’re all i need to get by

[intro: marvin & florence lyles]
you’re all i need to get by
sing to me, baby, oh darlin’
you’re all i need to get by
oh, talk to me, baby, ah, feel alright
you’re all i need to get by
oh baby, ah sugar sugar, ooh you thrill me, baby
honey, honey, honey, yeah
you’re all i need to get by
ah, little baby, woo-hoo, let me talk to you, baby
and then some say, yes baby

[verse: marvin & florence]
like the sweet morning dew, i took one look at you
and it was plain to see, you were my destiny
my arms open wide, i threw away my pride
i’ll sacrifice for you, dedicate my life to you

[pre-chorus: marvin & both]
oh, i will go where you lead
always there in time of need
and when i lose my will
you’ll be there to push me up the hill
there’s no, no looking back for us
we got love sure ‘nough, that’s enough
you’re all, you’re all i need to get by

[chorus: marvin & florence]
you’re all i need to get by
ah baby, all i need, baby, woo

ain’t nothing like the real thing

[chorus: marvin & florence]
ooh, ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
ain’t nothing like the real thing, no
ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
ain’t nothing like the real thing

[verse: marvin & florence]
ooh
i’ve got your picture hangin’ on the wall
but it can’t see or come to me when i call your name
i realize it’s just a picture in a frame
ooh, i read your letters you’re not here
but they don’t move me
and they don’t groove me like when i hear
your sweet voice whispering in my ear
don’t you know

[chorus: marvin & florence]
ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
ain’t nothing like the real thing, no no
ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
ain’t nothing like the real thing

[outro: marvin & florence]
ooh
ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
nothing in this world, baby
ain’t nothing like the, like the real thing
no one like my pretty pretty baby
ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
oh, nothing in the world
ain’t nothing, nothing like the real thing

your precious love

[verse 1: marvin]
let me say this to you, baby, i haven’t really expressed this
ooh, every day there’s something new
honey, to keep me lovin’ you
and with every p-ssin’ minute
ah sugar, so much joy wrapped up in it

[chorus: marvin & florence]
oh, heaven must have sent you from above
whoa, heaven must have sent your precious love

[verse 2: florence & (marvin)]
and now (talk to me), i’ve got a song to sing (talk to me)
tellin’ the world (oh) about the joy you bring
and you gave me, you gave me a reason for livin’
and ooh, you taught me, you taught me the reason of givin’

[chorus: marvin & florence]
oh, heaven must have sent you from above
whoa, heaven must have sent your precious love, woo

it takes two

[verse 1: marvin & florence]
one can have a dream, baby
two can make that dream so real
one can talk about bein’ in love
two can say how it really feels
one can wish upon a star
two can make that wish come true, yeah
one can stand alone in the dark
two can make the light shine through

[chorus: marvin & florence]
it takes two, baby
it takes two, baby
me and you
just takes two
it takes two, baby
it takes two, baby
to make a dream come true, hey baby
just takes two, ooh

ain’t no mountain high enough

[intro: marvin]
wait a minute now
i know there’s, yeah

[verse 1: marvin & florence]
listen, baby
ain’t no mountain high
ain’t no valley low
ain’t no river wide enough, baby
if you need me, call me
no matter where you are
no matter how far
don’t worry, baby
just call my name
i’ll be there in a hurry
you don’t have to worry
’cause baby there

[chorus: marvin & florence]
ain’t no mountain high enough
ain’t no valley low enough
ain’t no river wide enough
to keep me from getting to you, babe

[verse 2: marvin]
remember the day i set you free
i told you you could always count on me
from that day on, i made a vow
i’ll be there when you want me
some way, some how
’cause baby there

[chorus: marvin & florence]

and ain’t no mountain high
and wanna love in the valley
no valley low
ooh
