Marvin Gaye You Can Leave, But It's Going to
Cost You Lyrics:
I remember like it was yesterday
We were over at Gwen's,
And we was tryin'
One more time to make amends
Oh yes we was
Suddenly
It occurred to me it did not matter
Whether I was mad at her
She was mad at me.
Nawww babe...
Understandin' my condition
I must surely be a wishin'
and a'hoping to be free.

[Chorus]

But some said...
You can leave,
But it's going to cost you...
She said... (Yeah)
You can leave,
But it's going to cost you...
(Yeah)

She said ...
You can leave,
But it's gonna cost you dearly.
Ooohhhhhhhhh
You can leave,
But it's gonna cost you
Ha! Dearly!

Whoohhhhhhhhh
Sometimes your eyes was red as fire
Intoxicated...
Sometimes your spirit was moving on me
It come to fight me
I had to fight to defend my life.
I didn't mind it, you see I find it
A bit a'stimulatin'
That after fightin'
We makin' love.
(Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby)
After all, you was my wife.

Hey.
You can leave, (You still boogey...)
But it's going to cost you...
(Boogey down the road sometime.)
She said... (I used to...)
You can leave, (???)
But it's going to cost you...
(You were tryin' to put me down)
She said... (Used to boogey...)
You can leave, (...)
(I used to sing this song...)
She said... (and dance along ??? )
You can leave,

But it's going to cost you...
Mister man,
What's going down?
Ooh baby.

That young girl
Is going to cost you.
Ooh. Ooh baby.
If you want happiness,
You got to pay.

Ooh baby.
Used to be the be apple of my eye.
(How come you love me baby?)
Ooh baby. (How come you love me baby?)
Used to be my heart's desire.
(How come you love me baby?)
My heart's desire.
(How come you love me baby?)
Yeahhh.

I'm gone, (Get on get on used to it baby) [x8]

(Power)
You tried to have them shackle me
(Power. I'm gone. Power, I'm gone.)
Bring me in. (Power. Power.)
Tell me what for. (Power.)
So I'll satisfy you baby, (Power.)
You have won the battle, (Power. Power.)
Aw but daddy's gonna win the war.
(Power. Power. Power. Hey!)

The lawyers worked so hard
Tryin' to take my riches
??? too
Tryin' to sell my home.
Tryin' to take my life
And my child too, you don't care

Tryin' to upset my woman.
examinin' my soul.
But I was strong baby.
Stood my ground and prayed.
???
Wish I was in a position
To upset the judge.

You can leave
But it's going to cost you.
You can leave
But it's going to cost you.
You can leave
But it's going to cost you.
You can leave
But it's going to cost you.

You use to say that I was a gorgeous hunk of man...
That didn't help me baby,
ah...when you were on the stand.

[Alternate extended version only]

You can't have happiness
Until you break me
and make me happy too baby
you can leave, but it's going to cost you
you can't have peace of mind, until I get mine (wooo!)
you can leave but it's going to cost you Marvin
You can't have no jewelry
think about them first
you can leave but it's going to cost you, Marvin
