Once Upon a Time Lyrics

Once upon a time, when I was in high school
I'm in love with you, lady, and you treated me so cool
I was drivin' a Chevy '72, had four on the floor, girl
A hundred twenty, it would do

And I remember Marvin Gaye singin'
And let's get it on

There was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea
I wanna go and fight, girl, but you were really lovin' me
I remember Martin Luther King
Lord, he was the man, baby, that gave us all a dream

And I remember Marvin Gaye singin'
And let's get it on
I don't play with my love, no
I remember Marvin Gaye singin'
And let's get it on

We used to have sweet music in the park
Lord, up at Monterey, a they sang throughout the dark
You used to wear, girl, all those hot pants
When you strolled down the hall
All the boys wanted a chance

I remember Marvin Gaye singin'
Let's get it on
I don't play with my love, no
I remember Otis Redding sittin' at the dock of the bay
Ah, he went away

I remember Sam Cooke, ya'll bring it on home to me
From your love I can't be free
I remember Elvis Presley and the blue Suede shoes
Ah, it gave me the blues
I remember Marvin Gaye singin', let's get it on
