Keep on Lovin’ Me Honey Lyrics
[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
Keep on loving me honey, keep on loving me true
Baby, I'm going to love you no matter what you do
Just so long as I can have it all, nothing but you
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
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 afraid 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]
Keep on loving 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
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
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 afraid 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 3: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
Would you take the heavens out of the sky
Imagine what the world would be like if the rivers ran dry
Oh Tammi
What good am I without you
I can't do without you, darling
Like a sea without a shore
Kicking forever more
Keep on loving me honey, don't you change your mind
Sugar, I can't bear the thought of ever leaving you behind
No matter what I do, another you I'll never find
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
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 afraid 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
[Outro: Marvin Gaye]
If you leave you might as well take the air I breathe
Don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
'Cause I need your love, I need you so desperately
Don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
Keep on loving me honey, keep on loving me true
Baby, I'm going to love you no matter what you do
Just so long as I can have it all, nothing but you
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
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 afraid 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]
Keep on loving 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
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
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 afraid 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 3: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, & Both]
Would you take the heavens out of the sky
Imagine what the world would be like if the rivers ran dry
Oh Tammi
What good am I without you
I can't do without you, darling
Like a sea without a shore
Kicking forever more
Keep on loving me honey, don't you change your mind
Sugar, I can't bear the thought of ever leaving you behind
No matter what I do, another you I'll never find
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 afraid 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
[Outro: Marvin Gaye]
If you leave you might as well take the air I breathe
Don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
'Cause I need your love, I need you so desperately
Don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
