Marvin Gaye

Do you wanna do it lets it get it on
but how you gonna act this time around
before I take it off down to the skin
lets get an understanding
Girl you didn't understand my philosophy
you did not understand
you just ran away from me
Oh I miss you baby
ohh I miss you baby, I miss you
you're the best I ever had
You're so bad baby
but I must like you like that
although you won't let me control this or that
contantly playing this tit for tat
Ah now I see you're coming straight to the point
you say the more you get baby
ah the more you want me
yeah darling you're not waisting my time
what I see baby is so hard to find
although you've been all over town baby
having your affairs I still have to accept you back
angel though you're promiscuious I don't mind a bit cause you're still the greatest lay even when you're miles away
Girl if you run away again
surely my heart would never mend
don't tell me the love we made
was just for old times sake
staying up waiting for you to come home at night
was just so hard to take
she said that pain might never mend
so let's be sometime lovers
oh baby that's when my poor heart broke up
Well if you got a girl and you want her for your wife you got to treat her good and love her all your life.

Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
I go the place where danger awaits me
and it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded.
I can't help it
oh ya, so stupid minded.
But I go crazy when I can't find it,
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
Without ever leaving the ground
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no
And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me
Selfdestruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded
Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it
Well I know I'm hooked my friend
To the boy who makes slaves out of men.
And oh beleive me
Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high

Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

Dah, dah, dah, dah
dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long

Listen, baby Ain`t no mountain high
Ain`t no vally low
Ain`t no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I`ll be there in a hurry You don`t have to worry
`Cause baby,

*There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain`t no valley low enough
Ain`t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day I set you free
I told you You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I`ll be there when you want me
Some way,some how
'Cause baby,

*Repeat
No wind, no rain

My love is alive Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that

**There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that

**Repeat

I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found
Someone to choose me
No more standin' along the side walls
Now I've got myself together, baby
And I'm havin' a ball
Long as you prove it
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
I'm gonna make romance
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right

Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feelin' for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then come on, oh, come on
Whoo, let's get it on
Ah, babe, let's get it on
Let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on
Whoo-ooh-ooh

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give
Understand me, sugar
Since we got to be
Let's live
I love you

There's nothin' wrong
With me lovin' you
Baby, no, no
And givin' yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true
Oh, babe, ooh, ooh

Don't you know
How sweet and wonderful life can be?
Whoo-ooh
I'm askin' you, baby
To get it on with me
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I ain't gonna worry, I ain't gonna push
Won't push you, baby
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush, hey

Let's get it on, ooh, ooh

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Come on, baby, hey, hey

Beggin' you, baby, I want to get it on
You don't have to worry that it's wrong
If the spirit moves you, let me groove you good
Let your love come down
Oh, get it on, come on, baby

Do you know I mean it?
I've been sanctified
Hey, hey
Girl, you give me good feelings, so good

Nothin' wrong with love
If you want to love me
Just let yourself go

(
and fade):
Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up

I'd give anything to see
a little Christmas tree
And to hear, hear the laugher
of children playing in the snow
To kiss my baby, under the mistletoe.

But I can't promise my eyes this sight
Unless they stop the fight
Cause I'm a prisoner of war
Lying here in my cell, hoping
my family is well
Wish they wouldn't worry so much about me
Just try to get us home, in time for the
Christmas tree.

Listen, oh yeah, ooo, I want to see
snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Ooo, I want to hear jingle bells ring,
want to hear jingle bells ringing
But I can't promise my eyes this sight
unless they stop the fight.

Ooo, ooo, ooo . . . If I can't make it home in time
I know you'll be keeping my spirit bright
By wearing my name and trying to stop this fight
Ah, but I'd give anything to see you
the family. . .
and that little Christmas tree.

Ooo, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Oh, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Yes, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Ooo, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus . . .

I won't be able to sleep peacefully
In bed without beside me
Darlin', darlin anymore
No, sugar, no
I won't be warm and secure
Oh baby baby like I was before
Oh baby
I'll just lie tossin' and turnin'
Tossin' and turnin'
Tossin' and turnin'
All night long
Scared that if I closed my eyes
When I got ready to wake up
I might find you gone
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Stay babe please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
Cause I could never find
Nobody
To make me feel this way
No, sugar

For I never felt this way
Before
No, no sugar you did it
Oh I never felt so good
Honey before
Oh I never felt so good
Oh before
(repeat)

Oh, If I should die tonight
Oh baby, though it be far before my time
I won't die blue, sugar yeah
Cause I've known you
Oooh, oh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream
Oh, how many arms
Have felt their dream
How many hearts, baby ...
Have felt their world stand still
Millions never, they never never
And millions never will baby
They never will
If I should die tonight love
Darlin', though it be far before my time
I won't die blue
Cause I've known you
Oooh, oh, I'm thankful that you're lovin' me
My one desire
Is to love you 'til
I'm no longer here and never tired
Love has been so good to me
I'm so thankful
Oooh, oh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream
How many arms
Have felt their dream
How many hearts, oh darlin'
Have felt their world stand still
Oh Lord!
Millions never, no, never
And millions never will, sugar
They never will
If I should die tonight, ahhh baby
I just want you to keep this thought in mind
That I would never die blue ..
Cause I've known you
Oooh!!

Girl, you've been gone away a real long time
Now I really went out of my mind
I miss your lovin' when you left,
baby you did
Ah baby, come here, let me caress you
Ah ah baby let us,
ah tell me what you missed
Come here, sugar, and get to this
Ah baby, I want you here
I want to do something free to you
I want to feel what I've felt long
Ah baby, come get to this
Ooo remember, baby,
how you made me feel just like a king
Ah, I've been waiting
I'm ready for you to start doin' the things
So I'll know you're mine
You're so fine, so petite, oh candy sweet
Ah, I've been waiting
Come here, baby, get to this
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sweet love, sweet love, oh so good
Get back here from the depths,
we have to get back
Oh, nothin's changed,
you're still sweet as the mornin' rain
Girl, I'm standin' ready to
Love you, babe, make it good to you
Ooo I need your love
Don't make me wait, I can't wait
Oh I'm so impatient for your love
Come here, sweet sweet baby, get to this
Girl, I know you've been gone a long time
You nearly blew my mind, baby
Girl, you've been gone for so long
I'm so glad, glad that you call me your baby

You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say
Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
So many miles away, ooo please
Oh please, baby, think about me
Hey, in misery
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together
The promises we made, baby
Of the day you left, child
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
Distant lover, ooo, sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
Lord have mercy!
Oh baby, don't go
Please come back, baby
Ooo, something I wanna say
When you left to go away
No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream
Please! Please, oh please baby
Come back home, girl
Oh baby, come back
Oh oh
