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
