| You know, Tammi Terrell and I recorded a lot of love songs
|
| Tammi used to say, «Marvin, our message is to lovers, isn’t it?»
|
| I said, «And our message is of love, isn’t it?»
|
| And that’s what we strove for, to sing of love, about love
|
| We wanted to sing because we know, and we knew that love was happening
|
| We want you to reminisce a little
|
| See if you remember this
|
| What you’ve given me, oh, I could never return
|
| 'Cause there’s so much, girl, I have yet to learn
|
| Heaven must have sent you from above, baby
|
| Heaven must have sent your precious love
|
| Because you, honey, you are
|
| You’re my pride and joy
|
| I love you, I love you, little darlin'
|
| Like a baby boy loves his toy
|
| Ooh, you’ve got kisses sweeter than honey, oh Lord
|
| I work seven days a week, giving you all my money
|
| And that’s why, baby, you, you, you are my pride and joy
|
| Don’t you believe it?
|
| Sugar, that’s why, honey, that’s why you’re my pride and joy
|
| I can say it one more time
|
| I’m a stubborn kind of fellow
|
| Yes, I’m a stubborn kind of fellow
|
| Got my mind made up to love you
|
| Thank you
|
| Thank you very kindly, ladies and gentlemen |
