Marvin Gaye — Change What You Can

[Verse 1] Ooh, the girl I love walked out on me Leaving her love flowing strong Oh, my heart would like to carry on But she said her feeling for me was gone I tried to find the words to say to make her stay [Chorus] But she said she couldn't stand it for another day So the only thing that's left for me to say Oh, change what you can But when you can't leave it alone Have the sense to know the difference between the two [Verse 2] I know the girl is on her way Taking the love I need so bad Oh, the love I guessed I'd never have So what's the use of sitting around and feeling sad I must respect the fact she won't be back my way [Chorus] Cause she said she couldn't stand it for another day So the only thing that's left for me to say Oh, change what you can But when you can't leave it alone Have the sense to know the difference between the two [Bridge] I sit around in misery Over a love that don't belong to me I did everything I could to make her stay [Chorus] But she said she couldn't stand it for another day So the only thing that's left for me to say Oh, change it, baby Oh, change if you want to You got to change, alright Oh, change it, honey Honey, you can change it
