Gaye, Marvin - The End Of Our Road Lyrics
Oh, it's over, it's all over
Said it's over, it's all over, baby
I gotta get away from you as fast as I can
You're too much for me, woman
More than my heart can stand
You've been reckless with my heart
If I stayed around
You'd surely tear it all apart
The road has got to end somewhere
Woman, woman, every road has got to end somewhere
Now is the time for the showdown
So let me give you the lowdown
We've come to the end of our road
and I sat at home lonely
You only did it 'cause you knew I love you only
Runnin', runnin' around with every guy in town
I'm tellin' you, woman, no longer will I be your clown
The road has got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
I'm tired of your stuff
Say enough is enough
We've come to the end of our road
I can't take it no more
Woman, there's no sense in you beggin' and pleadin'
To hold on when I'm the one you're leavin'
Say I've 'bout had my fill of you (had my fill of you)
Flirtin's all through the years
And I've almost run out of tears
I'm tellin' you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to
The road has got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
Time and again I've begged you to slow down
So I'm givin' you the lowdown
We've come to the end of our road, road, road
[Repeat and fade:]
(Oh, this is the end, the end of our road)

Gaye, Marvin The End Of Our Road Comments
Nice job on the bass track, Bob Babbitt!
The road of "hurtin" never ends.
He's more than I heard it through the grapevine
I love this song!!
wish i was a teenager in the 70s or 80s but at the same time i wish i wasn't. AND at the same time I wish i wasn't an adult in today's time. love you marvin and my black women and men!!! there is still hope for our generation!
Listening to Casey Kasems AT 40 on Sundays here in Newport News, Va, WGH AM on Sunday mornings, tearing up as I listen to this. there will never, ever be another Marvin Gaye, I was 12 when this hit the airwaves, even then I knew he was a genius, RIP Marvin, the music you left us will live on for eons...
Still very relevant today! Real words don't have an expiration date
this song went to #40 on the pop charts in 1970!!!
is that the andantes i hear backing marvin? i love them, unsung heroines of the great motown machine.
When I was a kid in Detroit, listening to a transistor radio under my pillow at night, I could always tell by the first few bars that another Marvin Gaye song was jumping off. I was a white kid hoping to grow up to be Marvin Gaye. Well, you gotta have dreams...
:-) ))) ....u r ur own marvin! he was the bestttt!
this is one of my fav
MOTOWN WAS MAGIC.
The sounds like the Andantes singing background this one, not the Temptations...the same backing vocalists on "Grapevine"...
amazing song! know this feelin all too well!
YOU SHOUDA CALLED ME,I WOULD VE BEEN RIGHT THERE, I SWEAR!
It was recorded in 1969 and released as an album track on "MPG", but it was not released as a single (a 45) until a year later. It was Gaye's last single before "What's Going On".
Groovy tune...luv it!!!
This was the song that turned me into a real bass player.
This was the first song ever played on "American Top 40" w/Casey Kasem" (@ #40) when it premiered on July 4th, 1970! 41 years later, this song still sounds great!
R.I.P., Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr.....1939-1984.
Hey! 1 idiot that doesnt like good music... is the end of this road 4 u dum dum.
27th anniversary of his death today. This song is on repeat along with all his other songs, all day. RIP
Thanks for the info. It was actually the Gladys Knight version that I wanted, but couldn't remember who it was by. Many thanks!!
Is that the Temps singing background??
The pips
@StephyDizzle I agree 100%.
@StephyDizzle
its scary...
Bloody excellent.
In just don't listen to Marv enough.
There is not a single song by this man that is bad
Casey replayed this July 4, 1970 show on July 4, 1975 kinda' like an anniversary remembrance. Great songs on the countdown that week of 1970...Seems like AGES ago!
First song Casey Kasem ever played on AT40 on his July 4, 1970 episode!!! Since I am a Casey Kasem fanatic, I heard this debut show and heard this song for the first time ever and decided to download this. Another great addition to my Ipod!!
KISS ASS SONG
Lighting doesn't strike twice for Marvin on this one as it did for "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" both made hits first by Gladys Knight & the Pips.
I just love the passion and anguish in this song. One thing you can never accuse Marvin of is being lazy when it comes to giving fine vocal performances.
Marvin at one of his most funkiest moments.
