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, what it's all about, honor, loving and obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it should, it should 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 fights we had? You say you love me with all your heart If you ever loved me will all of your heart You'd never take $1 million 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 tried, we really lied, didn't we baby? And on top of that you have scared the life, my name But I can't understand, 'cause if you love me How could you turn me into nothin' least Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you? Best I could, you were so inviting and your love was like
