This is absolutely insane. People are quoting random internet websites as evidence? Wikiepedia?

Isn't possible that one person made the mistake of 'a loan' and lazy people just copied it?

Lets try it like this: I would easily bet my life on the fact that the lyrics are 'alone.' 'A loan' not only makes no sense, but it is completely unpoetic and doesnt follow with the theme of the piece, that his father was not around.

they are NORMAN WHITFIELD and BARRETT STRONG, BTW.

Anyone got email addresses? Maybe they'd just answer me.

Anyway, best to google a bit see if there's a Motown site with some info. Gonna look around here to see if I find anything.:

Alone is the only one of the two that makes any sense to me. If you like the Temptations, check out Psychadelic Shack--that song rocks!
