One More HeartacheMarvin Gaye

Songwriter: Ronald White Robert “Bobby” Rogers Warren “Pete” Moore Marv Tarplin Smokey Robinson

Producer: Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1]
One more heartache, I can't take it
My heart is carrying such a heavy load
One more ache would break it
Just like the camel with the heavy back
One last straw was added, I said it broke the camel's back

[Chorus]
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
I can't take it (One more heartache)
I can't stand it (One more heartache)

[Verse 2]
One more heartache, it would turn me right around
First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down
Like the house you built from toothpicks stacked upon the kitchen table
One last toothpick tore it down; the foundation was not able

[Chorus]
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
I can't stand it (One more heartache)
And I can't take it (One more heartache)

[Bridge]
No, no, no, baby
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(One more heartache)
(One more heartache)

[Verse 3]
Ooh baby, one more heartache would just be too much load
I'm fed up with the heartaches; one more and I'll explode
Like the toy balloon that's filled with as much air as it can take
One more puff of air and that balloon has got to break

[Chorus]
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
I can't take it (One more heartache)
I can't stand it (One more heartache)

[Outro]
No, honey (One more heartache)
Not another (One more heartache)
And not another (One more heartache)
Oh oh (One more heartache)
Oh, baby (One more heartache)
Couldn't take another one (One more heartache)
Not another heartache, honey (One more heartache)

Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye was one of the most consistent and enigmatic of the Motown hitmakers, with a career that exemplified the maturation of black pop into a sophisticated form spanning social and sexual politics.

Blessed with a mellifluous tenor and a three-octave vocal range, Gaye was among the most gifted composers and singers of his era. His life ended tragically one day before his 45th birthday, when he was shot to death by his father, an Apostolic preacher, after a violent argument.
