[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell]
People are wondering about the change that's come over me
Because a smile upon my face is something rare for them to see
But how can I tell someone else what I don't understand myself?
It's like walkin' into the sunshine, out of the cold, well, oh baby
It's just a satisfied feeling, oh yeah, down in my soul

[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell]
Imagine something so strong
That keeps the world from doing you harm
It gives you power, it gives you courage
And there ain't nothing you can't overcome
Like a puzzle when the pieces fit
I know that this is it
It's like watching a brand new day begin to unfold, and oh, baby
It's a satisfied feeling, oh, down in my soul

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
And I don't know what it is about you
But I can't stand the thought of ever, ever being without you
So I'm going to love you and never let you out of my sight
'Cause the way you make me feel has got to be right (Oh, baby)

[Verse 3: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both]
You know it's like a flame (Tell me!) burning within (Oh, yeah)
And I know people can see it from afar
Oh, and it gives you a special something (Hoo!)
That makes you wonder who you are, oh
If we had words, we could tell it all
The joys big and small
But I'm afraid the love we got can never be told, well, oh baby
It's just a satisfied feeling, oh (Yes, it is), down in my soul
Oh, it's just a satisfied feelin' (I'm satisfied, now), down in my soul
You know I'm satisfied (You know, it's)
