Sexual Healing -- Marvin Gaye

get up, get up, get up, get up  wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
baby, now let's get down tonight  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

And when I get that feeling  I want Sexual Healing  Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine  Helps to relieve my mind  Sexual Healing baby,
is good for me  Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

Whenever blue tear drops are falling  And my emotional stability is leaving 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 heal me  The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you're dealing   I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing  Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up - let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up - 'cos you do it right

Baby I got sick this morning  A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing  The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling  I want Sexual Healing  Sexual Healing 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 Healing, baby, it's good for me  Sexual Healing is something that's good for me  And it's good for me and it's so good to me  My baby ohhh

Come take control, just grab a hold  Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine  You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great  I can't wait for you to operate  I can't wait for you to operate   When I get this feeling,  I need sexual healing  when I get this feeling,
I need Sexual Healing,  I gotta have sexual healing, Darling
'cos I'm all alone  sexual healing, darling,  'till you come back home
Please don't procrastinate  It's not good to masturbate                          (sing365)

Gaye had a large collection of pornography, to the point that many people felt he was addicted to porn. When he noticed the large collection of pornography, Ritz told Gaye he needed some "Sexual Healing," and Marvin had him write some words which became the lyrics to the song. Gaye had invited Ritz to Ostend to help write his biography.

Gaye had a lot of success writing very sexual songs and built a reputation as a ladies' man, but he was the son of a preacher and struggled with his religious values. This conflict tormented him for years and played a part in his death in 1984.                    (songfacts)
