KEEP ON LOVIN' ME HONEY
(Nickolas Ashford / Valerie Simpson)

Tammi Terrell & Marvin Gaye


M: Keep on lovin' me honey, keep on lovin' me true
T: Baby, I'm gonna love you no matter what you do
M: Just so long as I can have it all, nothin' but you
BOTH: So don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
T: 'Cause I would stop right where I stand
M: I'd just be afraid of a man
BOTH: 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

M: Keep on lovin' me honey, don't you go nowhere
T: Don't you know I'm satisfied with your tender care?
M: And I get my inspiration, darlin', just knowin' you're there
BOTH: So don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
T: 'Cause like a leaf out on a tree
M: You've become a part of me
BOTH: 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

BOTH: Would you take the heavens out of the sky
Imagine what the world would be like if the rivers ran dry
M: Oh Tammi
T: What good am I without you
M: I can't do without you, darlin'
BOTH: Like a sea wihout a shore
Kicking forever more

M: Keep on lovin' me honey, don't you change your mind
T: Sugar, I can't bear the thought of ever leavin' you behind
M: No matter what I do, another you I'll never find
BOTH: So don't you take your love, don't take it away from me
T: 'Cause I would stop right where I stand
M: I'd just be afraid of a man
BOTH: 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
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
...and fade
