I agree with your impression of Heaven Must Have Sent You, Stay In My Lonely Arms and Come On And See Me, and My Guy is, for me, another on the same list. You sort of wonder, what is the point. Generally, Diana was known for the sincerity she could convey, even on simplistic songs like Baby Love, but on these Motown covers and some of the other material recorded at this time, she [[as narrator) didn't seem to care about the lyrics, and she and the band seemed to just race through these, or, in the case of Stay In My Lonely Arms, dragged it to its death.
