Mary Wells
Written and produced by fellow Motown artist Smokey Robinson, this song is a woman’s rejection of a sexual advance and affirmation of her fidelity to her boyfriend, who is her ideal and with whom she is happy, despite his ordinary physique. It was Mary Wells' biggest hit single, reaching number one...
[Chorus]
Nothing you could say can tear me away from my guy
Nothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
[Verse 1]
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather, we stick together
I'm tellin' you from the start, I can't be torn apart from my guy
[Chorus]
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy (My guy)
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy (My guy, my guy, my guy)
[Verse 2]
I gave my guy my word of honour to be faithful, and I'm gonna
You'd best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy
[Bridge]
As a matter of opinion, I think he's tops
My opinion is, he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste, to be exact
He's my ideal, as a matter of fact
[Chorus]
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy (My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy (My guy, my guy, my guy)
[Verse 3]
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy, we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
No muscle-bound man (Muscle-bound man) could take my hand from my guy (My guy)
No handsome face (Handsome face) could ever take the place of my guy (My guy, my guy, my guy)
[Verse 3]
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy, we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(What you say?)
[Outro]
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(Tell me more!)
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(What's that?)
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
