Keep On Lovin’ Me Honey (Alternate Take) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Keep on lovin' me, honey, keep on lovin' me true
Baby, I'm gonna love you no matter what you do
For so long I depended on nothing but you

[Refrain: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell]
So don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
'Cause I would stop right where I stand
I'd just be the frame of a man
Don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
'Cause if you leave you might as well take the air I breathe

[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Woo, keep on lovin' me, honey, don't you go nowhere
Don't you know I'm satisfied with your tender care?
And I get my inspiration, darling, just knowing you're there

[Refrain: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell]
So don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
'Cause like a leaf out on a tree
You've become a part of me
Don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
'Cause if you leave you might as well take the air I breathe

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell]
Ooh, would you take the heavens out of the sky
Imagine what the world would be like if the rivers ran dry
My, my, my
What good am I without you?
Ain't no good without you, baby
Like a sea without a shore
Drifting forever more
