What You Gave Me

Valerie Simpson, Nickolas Ashford, Ashford & Simpson

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye]
Like a breath of spring, you came
And as you leave, I can only sigh your name
Cries of anguish echo from way down
But will never reach my lips to make a sound

[Pre-Chorus: Marvin Gaye]
Though it seems my world is crumbling
Honey, you don't owe me anything because

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, oh, yes it is, ooh (Oh)
And what you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, oh, yes it is (Ooh)

[Verse 2: Tammi Terrell]
You've given me so much warmth
I don't see how I could ever grow cold
In my mind, there's a picture of you and I
That nobody has the price to buy

[Pre-Chorus: Tammi Terrell]
I don't know what made you change your mind
But you'll be back, it's just a matter of time, 'cause

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
What you gave me is more than enough to last, oh, yeah
What you gave me, baby, is more than enough
To last

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Into my life you came, like a breath of spring
Given me a song to sing
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And though I know you're leaving
I won't be grieving, 'cause I know
Ooh, oh

[Verse 3: Tammi Terrell]
Time has a way of showing us
The things we really need
And no matter where you go
I know you'll find your way back home

[Pre-Chorus: Marvin Gaye]
Oh baby, and though I know it's not reality
You'll always be a part of me

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
Mmm, 'cause what you gave me is more than enough to last, oh baby (Oh, yeah, yeah)
And what you gave me, hey, is more than enough to last, hoo hoo

[Outro: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
I believe it, once you gave it
What you gave me (Mm, mm)
Is more than enough to last
I love you, I love you, oh, darling (Hey now)
And what you gave me is more than enough to last, it's more than enough, hey now (And I always will)
And what you gave me, baby, is more than enough to last
