[Intro: Marvin Gaye]
Ooh

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye]
Heartburn, cold chill
Gettin' dizzy spells, bite my fingernails
I don't think I'm gonna pull through
Everything depends on you

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell]
Only your love can save
This poor heart of mine
Situation desperate
Honey, save this poor heart of mine
Oh oh (Oh)

[Verse 2: Tammi Terrell]
Dark days, empty nights
Without your arms to hold me tight
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
So come back baby, I'm sinking fast

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
And only your love can save
This poor heart of mine
Oh oh oh, situation desperate
Baby, save this poor heart of mine
[Verse 3: Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye]
Baby, you left me
In a bad condition
And my love for you
Has become my affliction

[Pre-Chorus: Tammi Terrell and Both]
Ooh, you know my need for you
Is oh so strong
It's like fire set up in my bones

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
Hey, and only your lovе, only your love
Only your love, save this poor hеart of mine
Situation desperate (Ooh ooh ooh, situation desperate
Baby, this) poor heart of mine

[Pre-Chorus: Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye]
Oh oh oh oh, I don't think I'm gonna pull through
Honey, everything depends on you

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and Both]
Only your love, only your love
Only your love can save it, honey
This poor heart of mine
Hoo, situation desperate (Sure 'nuff, it is, now)
Come on and save this poor heart of mine
Only your love, only your love
Talk about, only, your love, save it
This, ooh
Baby, baby, baby
Situation desperate
Uh huh huh, yeah
Lord, come and save this
(Poor) Oh, heart of mine
Oh
