Once upon a time, when i was in high school

I was in love with you, lady and you treated me so cool.

I was drivin' a chevy '72 had 4 on the floor, girl,

One hundred 20 it would do

I remember marvin gaye, singin',

What's goin on

There was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea

I didn't wanna go and fight, girl, but you were really lovin' me.

I remember martin luther king,

Lord he was the man, baby, that gave us all a dream.

I remember marvin gaye, singin',

What's goin on

Don't play with my love no,

I remember marvin gaye, singin', what's goin on

We used to have sweet music in the park

Lord up at monterey a they sang throughout the dark

You used to wear girl, those hot pants

When you strolled down the hall,

All the boys wanted a chance...

I remember marvin gaye, singin',

What's goin on

Don't play with my love, no...

I remember otis redding, sittin' at the dock of the bay---

Ahh, he went away..

I remember sam cooke ya'll, bring it on home to me,

From your love i can't be free...

I remember elvis presley, and the blue suede shoes

Ahh it gave me the blues.

I remember marvin gaye, singin'...let's get it on
