z.B: Sexual Healing von Marvin Gaye

Zitat:

Jahr: 1982

• Zu „Sexual Healing“ (2 Grammys) wird Marvi Gaye durch seinen Biografen David Ritz inspiriert.

• Dieser findet in Marvin Gaye’s Hotelzimmer Sado-Maso-Comix und spricht ihn darauf an.

David Ritz: „Ich sagte zu ihm:`Was Du brauchst ist Sex, der Dich heilt – und nicht der Dir Schmerzen verursacht.` –

• Und er sagte: `Das klingt interessant. Kannst Du mir dazu ein paar Zeilen schreiben?“
  

Ich schrieb ein Gedicht – er die Melodie – und „Sexual Healing war geboren.“

get up, get up, get up, get up
wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Ooh 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 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 things you're feeling

Oh 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, is 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

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

(hear me my darling)

I can't wait for you to operate

When I get this feeling,
I need sexual healing
oh 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
