I Wish I Didn't Love You So

Marvin Gaye · Love Songs: Bedroom Ballads [2002]

This is a sweet song of sorrow

living for tomorrow



little girl, don't you know

i wish i didn't love you so

my love for you should have faded

a long, a real long time ago

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



oh-ho i wish i didn't need your kiss

tell me, why must your kiss torture me

& drive me crazy like this?

(do it baby; don't do it baby)



i should be smiling by now (i'm gon' find somebody)

with some new, fine, tender thing (who really, really loves me)

i should be smiling by now

with my heart on the mend



& when, when i try (everytime i do)

something in my heart (i ain't lying)

says my life still depends on you

i can't get you out of my head

i still got to depend on you

i wish, i really wish i didn't love you so



i wish, i wish, i wish, oh baby

i wish, i wish, i wish, oh baby

i didn't love you so much
