You Can Leave, but It's Going to Cost You "You Can Leave, But It's Going to Cost You" is a funk-styled song recorded by Marvin Gaye and featured on his "Here, My Dear" album, when released in 1978. The song returns the subject of the album back to the demise of the singer's marriage to Anna Gordy Gaye as in this song he discusses a specific day in which the couple argued while at Anna's sister Gwen's house desperately trying to make amends. Marvin discusses that the couple got so mad to the point that they had sex afterwards with Marvin later stating "after all (Anna) was (his) wife". He then discusses parts of the court case and how, he says, Anna and her attorneys were doing their best to cause Marvin monetary damage, almost closing in on the singer's home, and in his opinion, his eldest son Marvin III. Before the song ends, Marvin brings in humorous irony in which he explains Anna talking about him on the witness stand.

The Norman Whitfield Sessions The Norman Whitfield Sessions is compilation album of songs by Marvin Gaye from 1962 to 1969. The album covers the Norman Whitfield-produced sessions of soul singer Marvin Gaye's late sixties period as he moved away from teen pop-driven R&B songs that made him a pop star. It covers more mature, grittier and funkier material as Whitfield guided the direction of Gaye's career, the high point being the 1968 song, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", which became Gaye's first international smash. Other hits during that period included the more upbeat "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", the darker "That's the Way Love Is" and "The End of Our Road". The collection includes "Wherever I Lay My Hat", which Whitfield co-penned and produced with Gaye on his "That Stubborn Kinda Fellow"; the song was covered by British singer Paul Young. There are covers of rock songs such as "Groovin'", "Yesterday", "Abraham, Martin & John" and two Temptations covers ("Cloud Nine" and "I Wish It Would Rain").
