Marvin Gaye
Baby I’m Glad That Things Worked Out So Well
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well, mmm
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well

[Verse 1]
Well, today I got your letter
And you say you ain't been crying
But I could see the misery
As I read between the lines
The tear stains on your letter (Your letter)
Tell me things ain't got no better (No better)
But I'll just make you think I think
That everything is fine, and I'll say

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell, I'll say
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the grass looks greener
On the other side
And he had fancy clothes
And flashy cars in which to ride
But now he's left you stranded (You stranded)
And you don't understand it (Understand it)
You tell me everything's alright
'Cause you've got too much pride, and I'll say
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well, ooh
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell, I'll say
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well, ooh
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell, baby

[Bridge]
Oh honey, and a baby, baby, ooh, I'm so glad

[Verse 3]
I told you what was happening (Baby, baby)
And I begged you not to go (Baby, baby)
But you said I was jealous (Baby, baby)
That I just didn't know (Baby, baby)
I knew that he would hurt you (Hurt you)
And pretty soon desert you (Desert you)
But I don't want to be the one to say
"I told you so," and I'll say

[Outro]
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well, ooh
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell, I'll say
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell, baby, oh
Baby, I'm glad that things worked out so well, honey, woo
Though it ain't the truth, and I can tell
