Marvin Gaye
Good Loving Ain’t Easy To Come By
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell]
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good loving ain't easy to come by

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
Oh, darling, that's the kind you offer me
It's just the love to be found
'Cause we're working on a building nobody can tear down
Oh, knock what we've got, ho-ho-ho-honey

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
Good loving ain't easy, ah, uh
Good loving ain't easy, darling
Good loving ain't easy to come by, oh no no

[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
I've tried the good life and I know
It's a playground where no one cares
But at last, you'll find out that don't compare
To what we've got, ho-ho-ho-honey

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
It takes more than just a song and dance
You've got to work and fight to give it a chance (Oh)
But if the rain comes down on us
And there ain't no place to run
We'll just cover ourselves with a blanket of love
And wait 'til the morning comes
Oh, a blanket of tenderness
And affection
Give us protection
[Verse 3: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
Good loving ain't easy to come by
Some think it's just a plaything
You can toss away when it's old
But when older value increases
It is worth more than gold
That's what we've got, oh oh, oh

[Outro: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell]
It ain't easy to come by
Well, it ain't easy
Good lovin' to come by
Oh, oh, oh, good lovin'
Hoo, good lovin', good lovin', good lovin', good lovin', honey
Ain't easy, no, to come by
Girl, it ain't easy
Good lovin' to come by
Ooh, ooh, good lovin'
Oh, woo! Oh, oh, it ain't easy
Ain't easy, no, to come by
Good lovin' to come by, oh, woo!
No, Marvin, good lovin'
Good lovin', good lovin'
Ain't easy, no, oh, no, no
Woo! No, no, good lovin' ain't easy to come by
