Yes. That was one of the three great Motown songs with words written by Roger Penzabene after he found out his wife was cheating on him, and before he killed himself. Marvin Gaye also has a good version.

The other two songs were I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You) and I Wish It Would Rain. He took his life 10 days after the later came out, and the other two were released the next year.

I always wonder what his wife thought.
