Píseň: I'll Be Doggone

Interpret:
Marvin Gaye
Album:
Moods Of Marvin Gaye
Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town


Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone


Now hey, hey, hey!
I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing
And I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold


Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey! I'd be long gone
Oh I wouldn't be doggone, baby
I'd be long gone


Now did you hear what I say?
Well now what I say, oh, believe me
Well, every woman should try 
to be whatever has man wants her to be
And I don't want much, all I want from you 
is for you to be true to me


Well, I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend
Oh, baby, And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like no baby could
If I ever found out that you're no good


Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone
Well I wouldn't de doggone
I'd be long gone
