Marvin Gaye - One For My Baby (And One For the Road) Lyrics

Lyrics One For My Baby (And One For the Road) - Marvin Gaye



One For My Baby
It′s quarter to three,
There's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set ′em' up Joe,
I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend,
To the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I got the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
Feeling so bad, won′t you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it′s not
In a gentleman's code
Just make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You′d never know it,
But buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I′ve got a lot of things I'd like to say
And when I′m gloomy, won't ya listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well, that′s how it goes,
And Joe I know your gettin′
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found,
It′s gotta be drowned
Or it's soon might explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Long, it′s so long, winding road
