Stubborn Kind of Fellow Lyrics
[Chorus]
(Doo doo doo, ow!)
Say yeah yeah yeah, say yeah yeah yeah
One more time, baby (Doo doo doo, ow!)
Say yeah yeah yeah, say yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
I try to put my arms around you
All because I want to hold you tight
(I wanna hold you tight)
But every time I reach for you, baby
And try to kiss you, you just jump clean out of sight (Woo!)
(Out of sight)
Oh, I've got news for you
Baby, now I've made plans for two
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow (Yeah, yeah)
Got my mind made up to love you
[Chorus]
Woah! (Doo doo doo, ow!)
Say yeah yeah yeah, say yeah yeah yeah
Woah, woah
[Bridge]
I'm gonna love you
(Gonna love you in every way)
In every way
(Gonna love you in every way)
I'm gonna love you
(Gonna love you in every way)
In every way, yeah
(Gonna love you in every way)
[Verse 2]
With other girls I've wanted
I've made it just a moment
With you I'll share each day
(I'll stay by your side)
Now I know you've heard about me
Bad things about me, baby, please let me explain
(Don't you listen to that jive)
Oh, I have kissed a few
I tell you, a few have kissed me too
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you
[Chorus]
Woah! (Doo doo doo, ow!)
Everybody sing, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Woah! (Doo doo doo, ow!)
Everybody sing, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Uh huh huh! (Doo doo doo, ow!)
Sing now, everybody, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Woah! (Doo doo doo, ow!)
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow, got my mind made up to love you (Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)

Anna [Gordy, Marvin’s first wife] was always telling me how stubborn I was … this ‘stubborn’ idea was floating around my brain while Mickey Stevenson and I started jamming.

How did Marvin react to this becoming his first hit record?
I wanted a hit, and I got one. I had to be happy. But I also felt out of control. I felt Berry [Gordy] was the pilot and I was the plane. I watched the song climb up the R&B chart. It made the Top Ten, but I knew it wouldn’t cross over to the white chart. And it didn’t. At that point I knew I’d...
