David Ruffin

Davis Eli "David" Ruffin (January 18, 1941 – June 1, 1991) was an American soul singer and musician most famous for his work as one of the lead singers of the Temptations from 1964 to 1968 (or the group's "Classic Five" period as it was later known). He was the lead voice on such famous songs as "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Known for his unique raspy and anguished tenor vocals, Ruffin was ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2008. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 for his work with the Temptations. Fellow Motown recording artist Marvin Gaye once said admiringly of Ruffin that, "I heard in [his voice] a strength my own voice lacked." more »

From day to day you keep me guessing
Whether you're mine, ooh, baby
Sometimes I think you are
And sometimes you show me no sign, ooh, baby

You're like the weather
And it blows my mind
You turn your love

On and off, off and on
(Ooh you keep changing baby)
Change your love anytime you want to
(Like night and day, you turn your love)
On and off, off and on
(You keep changing baby)
Change your love anytime you want to

Sometimes your love burns like a fire
Ooh, too hot to hold, ooh, baby
And sometimes you freeze up like an iceberg
Oh, the chill burns so, you know you do, honey

You're like a faucet
Running hot and cold
You turn your love

On and off, off and on
(And it's blowin' my mind baby)
Change your love anytime you want to
(Change, keep changing like the weather)
On and off, off and on
(It's like night and day baby)
Change your love anytime you want to
(Change your love anytime you want to, ooh baby)

You're like the weather
And it blows my mind
You turn it on baby

On and off, off and on
(Baby)
Change your love anytime you want to
(You keep changing on me, every hour baby)
On and off, off and on
(Like every minute, you turn it on and off)
Change your love anytime you want to
(And it blows my mind)

You turn your love
On and off, off and on
(Change like the weather)
Change your love anytime you want to

You turn your love
On and off, off and on
(Like an iceberg)
Change your love anytime you want to
(Just like burnin' fire baby)
