Lyrics of I'll Be Doggone by Marvin Gaye

verse

Well, I′ll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day (baby)
And I′ll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay (baby)
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town

chorus

Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey! I′d be long gone
Then I wouldn′t be doggone
I'd be long gone (I′d be long gone), hm-hmm

verse

Now, hey, hey, hey!
I'll be doggone if you ain′t a pretty thing (baby)
And I'll be doggone if you ain′t warm as a breath of spring, ah (baby)
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold

chorus

Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, hey! I'd be long gone
Oh, I wouldn′t be doggone
I′d be long gone, hm-hmm

verse

Now, did you hear me?
Well, now what I say
Oh, believe me. Well, every woman should try
To be whatever her man wants her to be
And I don't want much
All I want from you is for you to be true to me
I′d be doggone if love ain't a man′s best friend
Oh, baby, and I'll be doggone if you ain′t the loving end (baby)
Though I know you make me feel like nobody could
If I ever found out that you're no good

chorus

Then I wouldn't be doggone
I′d be long gone
Well, I wouldn′t be doggone
I'd be long gone
I wouldn′t be doggone, catch me a drink
(I'd be long gone) no, baby
I wouldn′t be doggone, I'm gonna catch me
Writer(s): Warren Moore, Marvin Tarplin, William Robinson Jr.
