once upon a time
when i was in high school
i's in love with you lady
and you treated me so cool
i was driving a chevy 72
it had 4 on the floor girl
120, it would do
and i remember marvin gaye
singing what's going on
and there was a war baby
somewhere across the sea
i don't wanna go back girl
cause you really love me
i remember martin luther king
lord he was the man babe
that gave us all a dream
and i remember marvin gaye
singing what's going on
i don't play with my love on
and i remember marvin gaye
singing what's going on
they used to have sweet music in the park
lord, up in monterrey straight out to the melody bar
you used to wear girl them high pants
and when you strolled down the hall
all the boys wanted a chance
and i remember marvin gaye
singing what's going on
i don't play with my love on
i remember otis redding
sitting at the dock of the bay
but then he went away
and i remember sam cooke, ya'll
so bring it on home to me
from your love, i can't be free
i remember elvis presley
and the blue swede shoes
lord, they gave me the blues
and i remember marvin gaye
singing let's get it on
