Medley III (Live at the London Palladium, 1977)

[Intro: Marvin Gaye]

You know, ladies and gentlemen

Very few performers have the privilege of singing with four marvelous ladies during the course of a career, or any other time for that matter

I consider myself very lucky privileged to perform with Mary Wells, Miss Mary Wells, Kim Weston, Miss Diana Ross, and Miss Tammi Terrell

Oh, she'd like that, she would, she'd like that, thank you

For her, I thank you too

So in order to perform these songs for you, a charming lady dancer is about to come to the stage to assist us

So won't you get together out there and welcome to the stage Miss Florence Lyles, ladies and gentlemen

Come on, Flo, baby

Thanks, baby

Yes, baby

[Part I: You're All I Need To Get By]

[Intro: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

You're all I need to get by

Sing to me, baby, oh darlin'

You're all I need to get by

Oh, talk to me, baby, ah, feel alright

You're all I need to get by

Oh baby, ah sugar sugar, ooh you thrill me, baby

Honey, honey, honey, yeah

You're all I need to get by

Ah, little baby, woo-hoo, let me talk to you, baby

And then some say, yes baby

[Verse: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you

And it was plain to see, you were my destiny

My arms open wide, I threw away my pride

I'll sacrifice for you, dedicate my life to you

[Pre-Chorus: Marvin Gaye | Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Oh, I will go where you lead

Always there in time of need

And when I lose my will

You'll be there to push me up the hill

There's no, no looking back for us

We got love sure 'nough, that's enough

You're all, you're all I need to get by

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

You're all I need to get by

Ah baby, all I need, baby, woo

[Part II: Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing]

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Ooh, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

[Verse: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Ooh

I've got your picture hangin' on the wall

But it can't see or come to me when I call your name

I realize it's just a picture in a frame

Ooh, I read your letters you're not here

But they don't move me

And they don't groove me like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Don't you know

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no no

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

[Outro: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Ooh

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Nothing in this world, baby

Ain't nothing like the, like the real thing

No one like my pretty pretty baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Oh, nothing in the world

Ain't nothing, nothing like the real thing

[Part III: Your Precious Love]

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye]

Let me say this to you, baby, I haven't really expressed this

Ooh, every day there's something new

Honey, to keep me lovin' you

And with every passin' minute

Ah sugar, so much joy wrapped up in it

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Oh, Heaven must have sent you from above

Whoa, Heaven must have sent your precious love

[Verse 2: Florence Lyles & Marvin Gaye]

And now (Talk to me), I've got a song to sing (Talk to me)

Tellin' the world (Oh) about the joy you bring

And you gave me, you gave me a reason for livin'

And ooh, you taught me, you taught me the reason of givin'

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Oh, Heaven must have sent you from above

Whoa, Heaven must have sent your precious love, woo

[Part IV: It Takes Two]

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

One can have a dream, baby

Two can make that dream so real

One can talk about bein' in love

Two can say how it really feels

One can wish upon a star

Two can make that wish come true, yeah

One can stand alone in the dark

Two can make the light shine through

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

It takes two, baby

It takes two, baby

Me and you

Just takes two

It takes two, baby

It takes two, baby

To make a dream come true, hey baby

Just takes two, ooh

[Part V: Ain't No Mountain High Enough]

[Intro: Marvin Gaye]

Wait a minute now

I know there's, yeah

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Listen, baby

Ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low

Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far

Don't worry, baby

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry

'Cause baby there

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye]

Remember the day I set you free

I told you you could always count on me

From that day on, I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me

Some way, some how

'Cause baby there

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe...

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

No baby

Ain't no river

To keep me from getting to you

Ain't no river, yeah

And ain't no mountain high

And wanna love in the valley

No valley low

Ooh

Keep me from all your love, baby

Ooh ooh

I can do anything, sugar

Ooh

Cross the burning desert

Swim the deepest sea

I'm gonna climb the mountain

Climb and climb the highest mountain

Gonna be with you, baby

To be with you, darling, talk to me, oh baby

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Florence Lyles]

You know there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

[Outro: Marvin Gaye]

Oh, hoo

How about it for Miss Flo Lyles, ladies and gentlemen

Isn't she gorgeous? Isn't she wonderful?

Lovely, lovely, lovely Flo

That's marvelous

Thank you, doll

To keep me from getting to you, baby

Oh baby, ow, ow, woo
