Marvin ran away from home when he was 17 years old to join the Air Force. In 1956, Gaye was honorably discharged for not following orders from his strict sergeant.

Listen, baby, ain’t no mountain high

Just call my name, I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry
‘Cause baby, there ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough

I told you, you could always count on me, girl
And from that day on I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me some way, some how

Honey, honey yeah

Ah, baby, let’s get it on
Let’s love, baby
Let’s get it on, sugar

Understand me, sugar (ooh ooh)
Since we’ve got to be here
Let’s live
