Lyrics Marvin Gaye – Pretty Little Baby
Text:
Darling, please stay, don’t go away
(If you leave me)
What a heartache, for heaven’s sake
(Don’t you need me?)
(How could I live?)
Don’t be untrue, what could I do?
Chorus:
(Don’t you know you)
You gave me the world, little girl
When you gave me your love
So if you take your love
You take my world with you too
Hey look at me, now can’t you see
(Tears in my eyes)
Hear what I say, stay here, I pray
(Never leave me)
Why must I plead, you know I need
(All your loving)
Don’t put me down, keep me around
Chorus
And I say, baby, pretty little baby
Don’t leave me
Baby, pretty little baby
Darlin’, you give me your joy, am I your toy
(Cracked and broken)
I always share your every care
(Wishin’, hopin’)
All through the years we have no fears
(Now I’m cryin’)
Chorus
And I say, baby, pretty little baby
Don’t leave me
Baby, pretty little baby
…and fade
