You Came A Long Way From St. Louis - Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells

Written by：Bob Russel/John Brooks

St Louis woman with your diamond rings

St Louis man you just

You just don't mean a thing

You came a long way from

St Louis

You climbed the ladder of success

I've seen the town and country cars

Parked out

In front of your fancy address

Baby

You came a long way from St Louis

You broke a lotta hearts between

I've seen a gang of gloomy gals

Were doing alright

Till you came on the scene

You blew in from the Middle West

Certainly impressed the population hereabouts

Now listen I got news for you

I'm from missouri too

So natcherly I got my doubts

You got em dropping by the wayside

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St Louis

And you still got a long way to go

St Louis woman with your diamond rings

Now listen

St Louis man you just you just don't mean a thing

You blew in from the middle west

And certainly impressed the population hereabouts

Well baby I got news for you

I'm from missouri too

Natcherly I got my doubts

You got em dropping by the wayside

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St Louis

But baby you still got a long way to go

You came a long way

You got a long way

To go

Get you had get you cold my air

Go met St Louis

All met new

I'm not going this now going to my town
