Lyrics When I Had Your Love - Marvin Gaye

When I Had Your Love

Yeah, you were diamond, and you were my pearl
And I bragged to the guys about my wonderful girl
And now you’re gone and all my riches turned to rags
Gone and I don’t have car to drag
But when I had your love I was a king, oh yes I was
When I had your love I used to smile
And the smile I wore was a definite sign
That love was mine, and I was feeling fine
Now you’re gone and now my smile has turned around
Gone and now my smile is just a frown
When I had your love I used to smile, mmm-hmm
Honey, baby
Dark nights keep on falling
My lonely heart keeps calling
Baby, come on back (Come right on back)
Baby, come on back (Come right on back)
When I had… woo-hoo…
When I had your love I was content
My life was sweeter than peaches and cream
It was so wonderful, just like a dream
Since you’re gone, I haven’t had another sweet day
Gone and all my dreams have faded away
Oh, when I had your love I was content, oh yeah
Baby, I need you, right now, mmm-hmm
More (more) more (more), hey hey (more), and more
