Listen to Tammi and Marvin in the oh so charming:

Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing

“oeoeoeoeoeoeoeoe ba-beeh.”

loving you is sweeter than ever

I remember yet before we met
Every night and day I had to live
the life of a lonely one
Oh and I remember meeting you,
discovering life could be true
When shared by two ‘stead of one

When you said, you loved me,
And we could not be parted,
Then I built my world around you, honey yeah
Ever since I found you darlin’

Loving you has made my life
Sweeter than ever, baby
And oh, loving you has made my life
Sweeter than ever, baby

Each day I pray, we’ll never part
For the love within my heart
grows stronger baby from day to day
As best I can, I’ll always try
to reassure and satisfy you
I’d be lost if you went away

Oh when you said, you loved me, honey yeah
And we could not be parted, no, no, no
Right then I built my world around you,
Ever since I found you honey

Baby you made my life so
So sweet now baby

Loving you has made my life
Sweeter than ever, darlin’ yeah, yeah
Honey when you said, you loved me, oh baby
And we could not be parted, oh
I built my world around you,
honey Ever since I found you, darlin’
Loving you, made my life Sweeter
than honey from the bee
You’ve been good to me
Just loving you has made my life
Sweeter than ever, oh baby

Baby, loving you
That’s all I want to do
You made my life so sweet




All for one – One for all
