Marvin Gaye - Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away) Lyrics






Baby please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
Stay, please stay baby
Don't go away, don't go away
Don't go away

I'm askin' you darlin'
Please stay, please stay, please
Don't go away baby
Please stay baby, please
Don't go away, no
I couldn't stand it darlin'

I won't be able to sleep peacefully
In bed without you beside me darlin', darlin anymore
No sugar, no I won't be warm and secure
Oh baby baby baby, like I was before
Oh baby

I'll just lie tossin' and turnin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin'
All night long
Scared that if I closed my eyes
When I got ready to wake up
I might find you gone

Baby please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
'Cause I could never find nobody
To make me feel this way
No, sugar

For I never felt this way before
No, no sugar you did it
Oh I never felt so good, honey before
Oh I never felt so good, oh before
Oh sugar 'cause you dig it, you got it
Oh I never felt so good
Oh I love you, I just love you

Oh now I never felt so good before
I love ya
Oh now I never felt so good before
I never could come this way before, baby oh oh
I never could come this way before, baby oh oh

  9. P.... j....

    This is the absolute greatest Marvin at his best

  10. C.... T....

    The one thing that I hate is when I'm asked the question. Who is the best or my favorite singer/group? In my mind that's an unfair question. Why? I grew up in the 60s and 70s. There were so many good singers and groups back then, you'd be leaving out so many. It's a great task to have. So much good music! It's just better to enjoy it. And thank GOD for it! It's more meaningful now.❤❤❤

  11. A.... F....

    Strong in 2020🎤🎼🎵🎶

    Love is a feeling an emotion, I've never met, or heard or seen. Anybody. That have mastered it. Scars and damage feelings. That would regret doing it again.

    God bless your soul Marvin Gaye. I will always love you love your music, and be your biggest fan. Most of your music that I listen to is because of my mother. Most of your music was made before I was born. And I'm so glad and it's a pleasure to understand and hear it..!!!!!!!!!!

    So True I Never Found Anyone Who I Felt That Way About Since I Had You; Hate you wouldn't stay for a life time but always remember what I told I'll Always Love You no matter who your with. I remember you use to say we had a love hate relationship but that was because it was lust for you and true love for me! Keep your head up, the best days of my life was when I was in love with you.

  66. A.... W....

    Too heavy...

  67. E.... B....

    Alright lets' forget The Fact for A moment that without Any Doubt,MARVIN r.i.p.had at least 1,000,000 Female Admirers just lying in Wait.But in order for MARVIN r.i.p.to Sing like that,He was in Love with A Woman He couldn't Impress or Have All to Himself except for when They were on Stage performing Together.MR.GORDY did His part to Help MARVIN r.i.p..He only Promoted Her Songs She did With MARVIN GAYE.But it didn't work.She just wasn't ready to be A One Mans'Woman.After Demise MARVINS' Music took A New Direction: No More Singing Love Songs Straight from The Heart.First Anna Gordy,Then MISS TAMMI TERELLE r.i.p.We Were Blessed with Only A 5 year exile.Because Love can make One do Foolish Things,especially A Man in Love.Listen Closer to The Songs Before and After MISS TERELLE r.i.p.Particulary Before and during Their Professional Relationship.As MARVIN GAYE r.i.p.would Literally Sing His Heart Out.with no Chance of A MRS.TAMMI GAYE.😉😎🤘🖤💙✌luv ya byo eJ

  68. J.... G....

    Oh I never felt this way,honey before

  69. N.... ....

    RIP Miss Crawford.💔

  70. M.... S....

    Hello Uncle. I miss You. I am glad I have your music to listen to and remind me of You.

  71. D.... A....

    C O N G R A T U L AT I O N S
    M O T O W N 60th ANNIVERSARY

    IN THE MEMORY OF THE LATE AND GREAT MARVIN GAYE,

    THIS ALBUM WAS DEFINITELY HOT
    OFF THE TRACKS AND ALL OVER
    THE MUSIC AIRWAVES (RADIOS)
    YES HE DOMINATED THE MUSIC

    CHARTS AS WELL WITH HIS GREAT FABULOUS HITS SONGS AND UNFORGETTABLE TOO I MUST SAY.

  72. G.... _....

    Music will never be this good again! Marvin Gaye was ahead of his time. True gem! The beat and the bass on this song is amazing.

  73. T.... B....

    The drums to this just blew my head off.

    T.... B....

    Tony, I love this song I play it just about every day. I especially love the percussion section like yourself however a lot of people think it's just the drummer. You're mostly hearing Bongos by
    Eddie "Bongo" Brown the next time you listen to it you'll be able to pick up the Bongos now he must have a thousand microphones on it but it's mostly Bongos as opposed to drums.

  74. L.... V....

    my husband loves marvin

  75. A.... D....

    Don't let this song leave! LISTEN TO IT! "All night long"

  76. m.... o....

  77. J.... n....

    I wish I could give more than 1 like...

  78. P.... C....

    Love Marvin Gaye please stay don't go away, I couldn't stand it darling

  79. C.... H....

    I miss Marvin, he brought me comfort in his music. What ever I was going through his voice and the music he wrote brought me joy

  80. W.... 2....

    Staayyy

  81. P.... j....
