marvin gaye - motown medley ii (live) lyrics

[spoken intro]
thank you, folks
we’d like to give you just a bit more of the motown sound
all the way from detroit, michigan

i’ll be doggone

[verse 1]
well, i’ll be doggone if i wouldn’t work all day, baby
and i’ll be doggone if i wouldn’t bring you my pay, baby
but if i ever caught you running around
throwing my money all over this town

[chorus]
then i wouldn’t be doggone
hey, hey! i’d be long gone
oh baby, i wouldn’t be doggone
baby, i’d be long gone

i can’t help myself (sugar pie, honey bunch)

[verse]
ah, sugar pie, honey bunch
you know that i love you
i can’t help myself
i love you and n-body else

[outro]
ah, when i call your name
girl, it starts a flame
burning in my heart, tearing it all apart
no matter how i try
your love i can’t deny
burning, burning, burn me inside
oh, ah-ah, baby, woo

uptight (everything’s alright)

[chorus]
baby, everything is all right, it’s uptight, out of sight
baby, everything is all right, it’s uptight, clean out of sight

[verse 1]
i’m a poor man’s son, from across the railroad track
the only clothes i had hangin’ on my back
but i’m the envy of every single guy
oh, i’m the apple of my girl’s eye

[bridge]
i can’t give her the things that money can buy
but i’ll never, never, never make my baby cry

[outro]
and it’s all right ’cause my clothes ain’t new
out of sight because my heart is true
she says, baby, everything is alright, it’s uptight, and i know out of sight

hitch hike

[intro]
wanna do that “hitch hike” for you, folks

[verse 1]
i’m goin’ to chicago; that’s the last place my baby strayed
hitch hike, baby
i’m packin’ up my bags, gonna leave this old town right away
i hitch hike, baby
gonna find that girl if i have to hitch hike all around the world
yeah yeah

[verse 2]
chicago city limits, that’s what the sign on the highway read
hitch hike, baby
i’m gonna keep movin ’til i get to that street corner 6th and 3rd
and i hitch hike, baby
i’m gonna find that girl now if i have to hitch hike all around the world

[bridge]
hitchin’ a ride
hitch hike, baby, alright
hit the highway, whoa—we’re gonna do that “hitch hike” for ya

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
st. louis, baby, my next stop just might be l.a
i say l.a
oh, no money in my pockets, gonna have to hitch hike all the way
yes i am
i’m gonna find that girl if i have to hitch hike all around the world, yeah

[bridge]
hitchin’ a ride
ooh, hitch hike, baby, it’s alright
i got the lowdown that it’s alright
ah, look out
we’re hitchin’ a ride, ’cause it’s alright
oh, it’s alright now now to a hitch a ride
oh, it’s alright–now what’d i say?
oh, oh baby, it won’t be long
gonna be comin’ home to you, darlin’
it won’t be long
i need a ride, ride, ride, yeah, and i’ll be home
i’m comin’ home, yeah, and it won’t be long
i, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, i’m comin’ home

[outro]
ladies and gentlemen, i wanna tell you a little story right here
but you’ve got to use your imagination
now, suppose i were standing out here on a dark, cold freeway
and all the cars were p-ssing me by
and n-body wanted to give me a ride
now, i’m determined to get to my baby’s side
and that’s why i’m out here hitchhiking
trying, trying to get me a ride
trying, oh trying to get me a ride
i need a ride now, now, now, yeah, oh yeah
but it’s so cold out here, i’m freezing
lord, it’s cold, woo
i’m freezing, woo, it’s cold out here
and i need a ride, i need a ride
wait a minute, i think i see a car coming
hold it! hey!
p-ssed me by, oh, yes she did
can’t get no ride
no no no no, can’t get no ride
i, i’m cold out here
wait a minute, i see another car coming
hey!
p-ssed me by, oh, can’t get no ride
now what can i do now now now? what can i do?
i need a ride, they keep p-ssing me by
what can i do now now now?
listen, folks, i better put this microphone down and do some serious h-tchhiking out here
i’ma get me a ride, hold it
i have changed my mind
yep, i changed my mind
you see, i’ve been doing this h-tch hike now for five years, and i ain’t got no ride yet
so tonight, instead of doing that hitch hike, i think i’ll do the philly dog
haha, i’ll do that philly dog, baby, maybe i’ll get a ride doing that, ah yeah

[announcer]
marvin g-ye, ladies and gentlemen, marvin g-ye
marvin g-ye
marvin g-ye
