Love Party - Marvin Gaye

To me you’re extra special mellow

And the thrill I feel is real and oh so good

So when you say you love me, I really believe you, girl

For it’s what you say and what you really do

Oh, you’ve got to understand, darling

The world is not for long, baby

There’s only time for singing and praying

And having a love party

You’ve got to check out the times, baby

'Cause what we need is a love explosion

We don’t have no time to waste

Got to pray, whoo

Baby, your life and mine is grooving on the danger

Revelations prophecy’s nearly fulfilled

We are blessed to experience a changing world

So let’s love before our fate is closed and sealed

You’ve got to understand, baby

(We don’t have the time to waste)

The world is not for long

(Got to pray and meditate)

There’s only time for singing and praying

(We don’t have the time to waste)

And having a love party

(Got to pray and meditate)

Go check out the times, baby

(We don’t have the time to waste)

What we need is a love explosion

(Got to pray and meditate)

We don’t have no time to waste

(We don’t have the time to waste)

Got to pray and meditate

(Got to pray and meditate)

On the birdies and the bees

And the flowers and the trees

And the fishes in the rivers

And on all the things He give us

On your body in His image

And your power with no limits

On your heart and your soul

And your purpose and your goals

On your reasons and your rhymes

And your seasons and your times

On your family and your Bible

And your knowledge of survival

Meditation deep within

That’s the way it begins

Baby, it begins

Baby, it begins

(Oh yeah)

To me you’re really extra special mellow, baby

Oh, and the thrill I feel is real and oh so good, baby

So when you say you love me, I believe you, baby

And it’s good to party, fun to party with you, baby

To me you’re extra special mellow, baby

And the thrill I feel is real and oh so good, baby

Mmm, so when the party’s over

Let’s go create some loving, baby

Whoa, no time, baby

(Got to pray and meditate)

Fooling around, let there be peace and love

(Got to pray and meditate)

Oh baby, come here, come here, come here, darling

Oh, we need love

(Got to pray and meditate)

Love explosion, oh darling

Mmm, come here, come here, come here, baby

(Got to pray and meditate)
