Marvin Gaye
Time to Get it Together [Alternate Version]
[Marvin riffing]
Jesus said time would heal ALL WOUNDS
(Time... Time...)
But we have to live right to get the time
(Time... Time...)
Oh, time
(Time... Time...)
Please, time, you got to be a friend of mine
Sometimes I am unable to move
(Sometimes I'm ready to groove
And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then)
I let temptation get me off of my groove
(Sometimes I'm ready to groove
And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then)
Sometimes I get it
Sometimes it's hard
To stay with it
But right now, get it, gotta get it, get it
Got to stay with it
Makin' up my mind to get it
Gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right
Pretty good lovin', oh
Get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right
Oh, gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right - Woo!
Oh, gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right, baby
Oh, gonna get it together
Gonna love every day every night till I get it
All right
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock -
My life's a clock and it's winding down
From the day you're born
Till the day you're in the ground
Come on, let's say this thing together!
I've been racing against time
Trying my best to find my way
Change our world in just one day
Blowin' coke all up my nose
Gettin' in and out my clothes
Foolin' 'round with midnight hoes
But that chapter of life's closed
From the day you're born
Till the day you're in the ground
Father, forgive me
To sing and dance, give love a chance
Please be on my side
Please be on my side
Just a few more days and I'll change my ways
Please be on my side
Ain't no need
For us to leave
Before we want to
But if we respect father time in our prime
Aw, baby, we won't have to
Sometimes I'm ready to groove
And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then
Sometimes I'm ready to groove
And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then
Sometimes I'm ready to groove
And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then
Sometimes I'm ready to groove
And then sometimes I'm unable to move
Like the rest of mankind
I've been racing against time
Trying my best to find my way
Change my world in just one day
"I can dig it, I can dig it!"
Cold-blooded out there, man, I been fooling around a long time
Yeah, I been trying to hit the big one
"You got to learn!"
Like the rest of mankind
I've been racing against time
Trying my best to find my way
Change my world in just one day
Blowin' coke all up my nose
Gettin' in and out my clothes
Foolin' 'round with midnight hoes
But that chapter of life's closed
From the day you're born
Till the day you're in the ground
I've got to say, I've got some debts to say (please be on my side)
Please be on my side (time, time)
Know I've done some wrong, I won't be here long
Please be on my side, please be on my side
(Stop fooling with time!
Stop fooling with time!)
You know, Ed? Life's a bitch, man
I tried my best to do right, man but you know it's cold-blooded out there
Got to learn sooner or later, don't you?
Got to learn! Life can't be this way!
Got to sometimes in life, make a change. Every man has to make a change. Sooner the better is the saying
Sometimes it takes you a long time to learn
Way too long, way too long, man. Things be going down, you'll be sorry for it
[Marvin relaying instructions for Sparrow, next track]
Get to the F-minor there, now the whole process repeats again
And then it just repeats!
Hey Mike, let me have a pelmel when you get a sec, please, bless you
Before we cut
One, two, three, four!
