Gaye, Marvin - When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You Lyrics






You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...
if you think back about what you really said, what it's all about, honor, loving and
obeying until death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it
should, it shouldn't be lies, because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what
you said, you've lied to God. The words should be changed.

Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times
Again, again and again, and that isn't all
I gave my love to you each time to make amends
Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it
Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake
What to do? Make you pay? For leaving you, my fine is to pay forever
So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again
Instead I'll say I tried to love and protect you
With all my heart, long as you want me to baby

Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time
Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid
So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger
Do you remember all of the bullshit, baby?
You say you love me with all your heart
If you ever loved me with all of your heart
You'd never take a million dollars to part
I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby
Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies
When I really tried, you know how hard I tried, how I really tried
We really lied, didn't we baby?
And on top of that you have scandalized my name
But I can't understand, 'cause if you love me
How could you turn me into the police?
Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you best I could?
You were so divine and your love was like mellow wine
Pains of love, miles of tears, enough to last me for my lifetime
Broken hearts last for years to break away to the blue-day sunshine
One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again
But I'm not really bitter babe
I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world, good luck in the world
But I know you'll never be satisfied. No, you still want me standing by your side
Memories haunt you all the time. I will never leave your mind
Got judgement on your side; you've said bad things and you've lied
Still I remember some of the good things baby
Like love after dark and picnics in parks
Those are the days I'll not forget in my life
I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared baby
I'd rather remember all the fun we had
All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right
All we did was fuss and fight
It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all
I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through
You try your best, you say I gave you no rest

[Repeat and fade:]
When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?

  59. T.... J....

    This was 1978 Marvin was a prophet I loved this song back then never knew I would experience the very things he spoke of 25 years before hand. I recall all bad things the lies, although we had some great times, but you had to go whoring around, I scandalized you and your family's name because they covered and concealed the dirt you did, never thought you would put me through the things you put me through because we were both old enough to know better. All of our promises were nothing but lies, I treated you better  than I did my spouse when we were together but when your hurt you have to hurt somebody never thought it would be me. When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you? Was it just a figment of our imaginations that we were in love? That person hurt you and you tried to destroy me. Think we messed up when we became lover's should have remained friends. Platonic love was better than intimate love it destroyed a great friendship.

  60. T.... T....

  82. J.... ....

    The only way anyone could dislike this song/album is if you have never truly been in love and lost it through divorce.

  83. M.... P....

    I karaoke [d] Anna's song one night
    And I got not 1 but 4 girls number afterwards, the point of all of this is is that; Marvin's songs were all from his heart and soul, he was a genius and THE pied piper to women when he sung, I just thank God for having me discover his music and having an okay singing voice.
