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

How you going to keep it after get it?

I want to know, sugar darling, yeah

How you going to keep it after you get it?

Oh baby

Sweet thing

Now I think of games sometimes

But when it comes to this heart of mine

I don’t miss a bus

If you ain’t got the right stuff

So I’m laying it on the line

& it’s something you’d best be mine

Don’t fight the fire without the words to give it up

Oh how you going to keep it after you get it?

Oh tell me sugar, tell me sugar

How you going to keep it after you get it?

I want to know right now

Listen, your sweet talking sure sound good

& your kissing satisfied

& 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 all over the hill

Oh how you going to keep it?

I want to know

How you going to keep it?

I want you to think, think about it baby

Stop & start yourself

Don’t let your mind ruin my heart

Is what you’re laying on me fake

Or have you really got what it takes?

Oh how you going to keep it?

I want to know

How you going to keep it?

If I let you be careful with my ship

How you going to keep it?

I want to know, will you be able to hold your grip?

How you going to keep it?

How you going to keep it?
