paroles de chanson How You Gonna Keep It (After You Get It) - Marvin Gaye , Tammi Terrell

How you gonna keep it after you get it?
(I wanna know, sugar darling, yeah, ooh)
How you gonna keep it after you get it?
(Oh baby)
(Sweet thing)
(Listen)

Now, I may play games sometimes
But when it comes to this heart of mine
I don't mess and fuss
If you ain't got the right stuff
So, I'm laying it on the line
And it's something you'd best be learning
Don't light the fire without the wood to keep it burning

How you gonna keep it after you get it?
(Oh, tell me sugar, tell me sugar)
How you gonna keep it after you get it?
(I want to know right now) listen

Your sweet talking sure sound good
And your kissing satisfied
And when you hold me in your arms
I get weak, I won't deny
But I'm not in for a one-night thrill
You've got to have enough love to pull us on over the hill

Ooh, how you gonna keep it?
I wanna know
How you gonna keep it?

I want you to think, think about it, baby
Stop and study yourself
Don't let your mind ruin your heart
Is what you're laying on me fake
Or have you really got what it takes?

Oh, how, how you gonna keep it?
I, I wanna know
How, how you gonna keep it?
If I let you be captain of my ship
How you gonna keep it?
I wanna know, will you be able to hold your grip?
How you gonna keep it? (Mmm)

And when hard times come (tell me about it), honey
Would you pack up your bags and run? (No, no)
How you gonna keep it? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sweet thing now, how you gonna keep it?
I wanna know
How you gonna keep it?
I wanna know
How you gonna keep it?
And I wanna know
How you gonna keep it?
