Lyrics of Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye
intro
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
verse
Oh, baby now let′s get down tonight
Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin′
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
chorus
And when I get that feelin′
I want sexual healin′
Sexual healin', oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
verse
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healin′ baby, is good for me
Sexual healin' is something that′s good for me
Whenever blue teardrops are fallin'
And my emotional stability is leavin′ me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up, baby
And honey, I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you′re dealin′
Ohh I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healin′
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
′Cause you do it right
Baby, I got sick this mornin'
A sea was stormin′ inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizin'
The waves are risin′ and risin′
chorus
And when I get that feelin'
I want sexual healin′
Sexual healin' is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it′s such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual healin′, baby, it's good for me
Sexual healin' is something that′s good for me
Well, it′s good for me and it's so good to me, my baby, ohh
verse
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind, soon we′ll be makin' it, honey
I′ll be feelin' fine
You′re my medicine, open up and let me in
Darlin', you're so great, I can′t wait for you to operate
outro
(Healing, my darling)
I can′t wait for you to operate
When I get this feelin'
I need sexual healin′
Oh when I get this feelin'
I need sexual healin′
I gotta have sexual healin', darlin′
'Cause I'm all alone
Sexual healin′, darlin′
Till you come back home
Please don't procrastinate
It′s not good to masturbate
Writer(s): Marvin Gaye, Odell Brown, David Ritz
