As often was the case in his music and in his life, Marvin Gaye bounces from one extreme to the other. “Heavy Love Affair” follows In Our Lifetime?’s theme of polarity, this time through his love for ex-wife Janis Hunter. Marvin croons over the track, describing the euphoria and agony that she bring...
Look in your eyes
And I see the lies
But in my mind
It's a mystery
Feeling the pain
And I feel the love
And once again
You're the world to me
Hey, what is this thing I'm feeling, baby
What are these strange emotions
Loving the pleasure sweetly
Loving the pain as deeply
It's almost midnight
And my love is coming down
Lots of ladies love me
But it's still a lonesome town
(Very special love
Very special love affair)
(Very special love
Very special love affair)
You've got me looking for love
Though you're my sole desire
Looking for love and a girl for me
You've got me looking for love
And my soul's on fire
Looking for love and a girl for me
Memories of our love obsesses me
Thoughts of us are sending all the time
If I gave into your soul, my dear
Then you really never could be mine
Very, very loving day
Think of you every day, think of you all kinds of ways
Sometimes I hate your guts
And love your lust
Sometimes I love your guts
And hate your lust
It was a crazy love affair
A crazy love affair
Oh, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sometimes I hate your lust
[Repeats]
Very special love
