Change What You Can - Marvin Gaye

Ooh, the girl I love walked out on me

Leaving her love flowing strong

Oh, my heart would like to carry on

But she said her feeling for me was gone

I tried to find the words to say to make her stay

But she said she couldn’t stand it for another day

So the only thing that’s left for me to say

Oh, change what you can

But when you can’t leave it alone

Have the sense to know the difference between the two

I know the girl is on her way

Taking the love I need so bad

Oh, the love I guessed I’d never have

So what’s the use of sitting around and feeling sad

I must respect the fact she won’t be back my way

Cause she said she couldn’t stand it for another day

So the only thing that’s left for me to say

Oh, change what you can

But when you can’t leave it alone

Have the sense to know the difference between the two

I sit around in misery

Over a love that don’t belong to me

I did everything I could to make her stay

But she said she couldn’t stand it for another day

So the only thing that’s left for me to say

Oh, change it, baby

Oh, change if you want to

You got to change, alright

Oh, change it, honey

Honey, you can change it
