Once upon a time, when I was in high school
|
I was in love with you lady, but you treated me so cool
|
I was drivin' a Chevy 72, it had 4 on the floor, girl
|
A hundred twenty, it would do
|
|
And I remember Marvin Gaye
|
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"
|
|
And there was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea
|
I don't want to go fight, 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
|
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"
|
I don't play with my love, oh
|
And I remember Marvin Gaye
|
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"
|
|
They used to have sweet music in the park
|
Lord, up in Monterey, straight down to 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
|
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"
|
I don't play with my love, oh
|
And I remember Otis Redding
|
Sittin' at the dock of the bay
|
But then he went away
|
|
And I remember Sam Cooke
|
Bring it on home to me
|
From your love I can't be free
|
I remember Elvis Presley
|
And them blue suede shoes
|
Lord, they gave me the blues
|
|
I remember Marvin Gaye
|
Singin' "Let's Get It On"
|
