Ill Be Doggone - Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day

And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay

But if I ever caught you running around

Blowing my money all over this town



Then I wouldn't be doggone

Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone

Then I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone



Now hey, hey, hey!

I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing

And I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring

And if we live to be a hundred years old

If you ever let that spring turn cold



Then I wouldn't be doggone

Hey! I'd be long gone

Oh I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone



Now did you hear what I say ?

Well now what I say

Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try

To be what ever has man wants her to be

And I don't want much

All I want from you is for you to be true to me



Well, I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend

Oh, baby, And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end

Though I know you make me feel like no baby could

If I ever found out that you're no good



Then I wouldn't be doggone

Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone

Well I wouldn't de doggone baby

I'd be long gone
