Marvin Gaye - Take This Heart of Mine lyrics

rate me

Ooo, you say you're feelin' nervous,

The least thing makes you cry.

Sounds like a real bad case

Of a girl who needs a guy.

I think I know the perfect cure

One you ought to try

Take a heart that's full of love

On this you can rely

CHORUS:

If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine.

And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine.

And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine.

I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine.

I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills.

Prescribe all those different drugs and hard-to-swallow pills.

My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill.

My prescription is the kind you'll love and want refilled.

(chorus)

Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)

That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)

Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)

To have and to hold (this heart of mine)

And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)

*As* we grow old (this heart of mine)

It'll be the greatest love story (this heart of mine)

That's ever been told (this heart of mine)

Oh, baby (one more time, let's hold)

Oh, medicine won't cure you

Just *relieve* you at the most.

But relief is only temporary,

Pretty soon will go.

But love can last a lifetime

When two hearts are close

Take as much as you want to

There is no overdose

(repeat chorus and fade)
