Marvin Gaye (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984), born Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., was an American singer-songwriter and musician whose career spanned more than two decades. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he was the son of a storefront minister of a local Pentecostal church sect and grew up singing gospel in church revivals as a young child. Gaye branched out into secular music as a teenager, joining the doo-wop group The Marquees, after returning from an honorable discharge from the United States Air Force, before the group was hired by Harvey Fuqua to be Harvey & The Moonglows.

You were my wife
My life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means 
I shall explain 
I stood all the jealousy 

All the bitchin', too
Yes I'd forget it all
Once in bed with you
Oh darlin'
How did we end up like this?

Oh baby let me reminisce
(Ooh baby) And when we 
Ooh, we stop the hands of time
You set my soul on fire

My one desire was to love you
And think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied
Oh baby, oh baby

We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me
But, if you ever need me  
I'll be by your side

Though the many happy times we had
Can really never outweigh the bad
Oh, I never loved nobody
Like I love you, baby
Now it's time for us to say farewell
Farewell my darlin'
Maybe we'll meet down the line
(Ooh baby) It's too late for you and me

It's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you and I
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry, baby

Oh, we tried
God knows we tried 
Now it's too late
To live and learn 
Oh, it's too late, baby
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry
Oh
It's much too late 

Talking:
Oh, well
All we can do is we can both try to be happy
