Marvin Gaye — Anger Alternate Version

[Marvin riffing] Anger Anger gets the best of me, baby Anger I have lost my head Anger Often say a lot of things Anger Wish I had not said Oh, baby (Anger repeats in the background) When reason gets beyond control Things I do for spite (makes me ashamed for my meanness) Makes me ashamed for my meanness Help me do things right Somehow, someday soon I hope and pray I'll soon reach a wiser age Learn I'll never profit, baby, oh yeah For things I do in rage Anger is a flame when it's flaming hot It burns to a bitter end When it cools, I find out much too late I have lost the love, love friend I don't know why I ever let you unlock The devil out of me, babe Why don't we use love, peace and happiness 'cause we control the key? God made us for a reason Oh, let me be what I'm supposed to be Rage, there's no room for rage in there There's no room for rage in here Line up some place to go to be mad It's a sin to treat your body bad When anger really gets the best of us I've really lost my head Often say a lot of things, oh darlin' Wish I'd never said Know it's the truth When reason gets beyond control And the things we do spite Makes me ashamed For my meanness, sugar, never helps me do things right Someday soon I hope and pray, oh Jesus I'll reach that wiser age Yes, I will I never learn, I never profit From things I do in rage One more time-anger, more anger When it's flaming hot Anger burns to the bitter end Know what I'm talkin' 'bout When it cools I find out too late I have lost the love, love, love, dear friend Let's get it I ain't gonna let you get the best of me, babe I'm gonna go somewhere and cool This is not the way my head's supposed to be, babe Got me feelin' like some silly fool But I know a real nice place where I can go And feel the way I'm supposed to feel I don't want to be mad at nobody I don't want to be feelin' bad Up and down my back, in my spine, in my brain It injures me, baby Anger, can make you old, yes it can I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul Anger Anger
