Funny Not Much
Marvin Gaye · Other Songs - Marvin Gaye
i can listen to your name & it doesn't start a flame...not much
so much my heart wants to cry
oh yeah
baby, it's funny how i've stopped loving you
& it's funny i don't miss all the heaven in your kiss...your touch
i don't love you...too much
now that you are standing here
darling, i won't shed a tear
this is just the rain in my eyes
& if i have proved to you that everything i say is true
please help me believe my own lies
girl, it's funny how i've stopped loving you
& it's funny i don't miss all of the heaven in your kiss...your touch
i don't love you...not too much, baby
not too much
oh you went away & left me, baby
i don't love you too much
just with all my heart, dear
