Marvin Gaye - Got to Give It Up lyrics

rate me

I used to go out to parties

and stand around

'cause I was too nervous

to really get down

but my body yearned to be free

I got up on the floor and thought

somebody could choose me

No more standin' there beside the walls

I done got myself together baby

and now I'm havin' a ball

As long as you're groovin'

there's always a chance

somebody watches

might wanna make romance

Move your body, ooo baby, you dance all night

to the groove and feel alright

Everybody's groovin' on like a fool

But if you see me spread out and let me in

Baby just party high and low

Let me step into your erotic zone

Move it up

Turn it 'round

ooo Shake it down

OOWWWW

You can love me when you want to babe

This is such a groovy party baby

We're here face to face

Everybody's swingin'

This is such a groovy place

All the young ladies are so fine!

You're movin your body easy with no doubts

I know what you thinkin' baby

you wanna turn me out

Think I'm gonna let you do it babe

Keep on dancin'

You got to get it

Got to give it up

(repeat until end)
