Lyrics:

‘Just to Keep You Satisfied’ was first released in 1973 as the B-side to ‘You Sure Love to Ball’. It was featured on Marvin’s 1973 album Let’s Get It On.
You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means, I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy, all the bitching too
Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you
Oh darling, how could we end up like this?
Oh baby, let me reminisce

Oh and when we, woo, stopped the hands of time
You set my soul on fire, my one desire
Was to love you and think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied, oh baby, oh baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Can really never outweigh the bad
Oh, I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby

It's time for us to say farewell
Farewell my darling
Maybe we'll meet down the line
It's too late for you and me
It's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you and I
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry baby
Ah we tried, God knows we tried
Now it's too late to live and love
And ah, it's too late baby
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry
Oh, oh, oh it's much too late

Ah well, all we can do is, we can both try to be happy
