Lyrics Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye

I Was Telling Her About You

My arms were around her, my eyes were aglow

But the moment was tender, the music was low

While we were dancing, I think you should know

I was telling her about you, mmm-hmm

She kept coming closer, the magic was there

She wore an expression that made people stare

It looked so romantic, darling, I swear

I was telling her about you, mmm-hmm

When you passed by and caught my eye

You didn't say a word

You turned to bow and walked right out

And the silence was the loudest that I've ever heard, mmm-hmm

Come back to me, darling, I must make you see

That things aren't always what they seem to be

The girl in my arms, she meant nothing to me

I was telling her, ooh, I was telling her

I was telling her about you, mmm-hmm

Mmm-hmm, when you passed by and caught my eye

Baby, you didn't say a word

You turned to bow and walked right out

And the silence was the loudest that I've ever heard

Come back to me, darling, I must make you see

That things aren't always what they seem to be

Ooh, the girl in my arms, she meant nothing to me

I was telling her about you

Only telling her about you
