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

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 

You know, about, honor and loving 

And obeying 'till 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 lie to God 

The words should be changed 

Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times 

Again and 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'll try to love and protect you 

With all my heart as 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 will 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 

I really tried, you know how I really tried, we really lied, didn't we baby? 

And on top of that you have scandalized my name 

What I can't understand is 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 that 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, soon break away to the noonday 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 love in the world (good luck in the world) 

But I know you'll never be satisfied 

No, you still want me standin' by your side 

Photos 

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 babe 

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 tried your best, you say I gave you no rest 

When did you stop loving me? 

When did I stop loving you? 

When did you stop loving me? 

When did I stop loving you? 

When did you stop loving me? 

When did I stop loving you?
