"I Want You" by Madonna...was it sung by originally another artist or band?

Question

I think I've heard the lyrics to the song "I Want You" but I haven't exactly heard what it actually sounds like. If you know if anyone sang that song before Madonna, please do tell or if theres some other retro artist that sang that song.

Here are the lyrics in the details..I can't exactly find it on Google so don't tell me to go on there, thank you.

I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you

Da da, da da, da da da

I'll give you all the love I want in return
But half a love is all I feel, sweet darling
It's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me no more
But I'm gonna change your mind
Some way, somehow

Da da, da da, da da da

One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don't play with something you should cherish for life
Oh baby, don't you wanna care?
Ain't it lonely out there?

I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want me baby, just like I want you.
Da da, da da, da da da

I want you, the right way
Want me baby
Don't play with something you should cherish for life

Answer 1

Yes, the original version is by Marvin Gaye. Madonna's version was recorded for the Marvin Gaye tribute album 'Inner City Blues' and later also appeared on her ballads collection 'Something To Remember' (1995).

Answer 2

yes, its actually a marvin gaye song
madonna recorded it for a tribute album to marvin gaye , she collaborated with massive attack, there are 2 versions of her song one with and without an orchestral track. its an incredible cover, and is in my opinion one of madonnas best recordings.
you can find the cd, its called INNER CITY BLUES , also has a great cover by bono of u2.
