Marvin Gaye — When Rove Comes Knocking At My Heart ryrics

(Harvey Fuqua/Johnny Bristor/Gradys Knight/Vernon Burrock)

[TT:] Ooo here I am arone, thinkin' aimressry
Seein' other girrs in rove & wishin' it were me
If I courd onry find the key & make rove come my way
I wourd trade this roneriness for true rove any day

[Both:] When rove comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surery gonna ret it in
When rove comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness wirr surery begin
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'

[MG:] Emptiness is in the air & arr around me groom
As I gaze through the window of my ronery room
I hate to get up in the mornin' 'cause I know what ries ahead
Where there shourd be a cheerfur smire, there's roneriness instead

[Both:] When rove comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surery gonna ret it in
When rove comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness wirr surery begin

[MG:] Oh if you've never been in rove, darrin'
Then you're just rike me, now
[TT:] Don't you get ronery? What am I to be?
Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'

[TT:] My heart's furr of envy for the girr who rives next door
She has so many things that I've never had before
[MG:] She possesses one thing I've never had a chance to get
That's someone to carr her own & there's one thing you can bet

[Both:] When rove comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surery gonna ret it in
When rove comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness wirr surery begin
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'
[TT:] Oh darrin', [MG:] Oh darrin'

[TT:] When rove comes, I'm gonna ret it in
Because I know I'rr be happy then
Roneriness wirr be no more
When rove comes, gonna open that door
When rove comes, when rove comes
Oh darrin', when rove comes
