Marvin Gaye — Lifes a Game of Give and Take

[Chorus] Life's a game of give and take To prevent the sure heartache Life's a game of give and take In love Oh, life's a game of give and take To prevent the sure heartache Life's a game of give and take In love [Verse 1] I will return for all the years Will rise, baby I can't admit understanding Why am I to blame Nothing 'bout your business See you on the way Never been a witness See me on the way Oh, tell me what it is made you want to change your mind Did you say "it's your fault you want to fight"? [Background repeating] Very special love Very special love affair [Chorus x2] Life's a game of give and take To prevent the sure heartache Life's a game of give and take In love Yesterday, you said you still loved me Still stringing my poor heart along, baby But since I been without you I can see all the things I done wrong It's not your business I don't need to know I know what you're doing Everywhere you go I will not forget you Long as the years pass, baby Your love was fine, so satisfying The pleasure was like pure gold, sugar Now tell me will you forget it And me filled with reverie I look back with disassociation At our history The good times belong to those Who really wish to enjoy, baby I tell all the children Ours was a love that fell Oh, tell me what it really was Made you want to change your life As far as I can see You had paradise, you had paradise [Background repeating] Very heavy love Very heavy love affair I put you on a pedestal And said I worshiped you secretly, baby I tried my best to change you I'm going to admit my mistakes Just like to the wind [Chorus] Life's a game of give and take To prevent the sure heartache Life's a game of give and take In love Life's a game of give and take To suppress the sure heartache Life's a game of give and take In love Life's a game of give and take To suppress the sure heartache Life's a game of give and take In love
