Sexual Healing
Connor Sarah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual Healing
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling,
That it's sexual healing
Get up, get up, get up, get up,
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
'Cause you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby oh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling,
I need sexual healing
The song "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye was released in 1982, several years before the artist's untimely death in 1984. The lyrics describe the physical and emotional need for intimate affection and healing through sexual contact. The opening lines suggest a sense of urgency and building desire, with the singer referring to themselves as being "hot" like an oven and craving the relief of sexual intimacy. The chorus emphasizes the healing powers of sexual contact, with the repetition of the phrase "sexual healing" serving to reinforce the idea. The second verse describes a sense of emotional instability that can be remedied through the love and support of a partner, specifically through sexual contact. The final verse returns to the physical sensations of desire and the need for sexual healing in order to find relief.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was Gaye's biggest hit in years, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remaining on the chart for 20 weeks. Another interesting fact is that the song was co-written by David Ritz, who had previously collaborated with Gaye on his autobiography. Additionally, the song's distinctive synth sound was created by keyboardist Odell Brown, who used a Roland Jupiter-8 synthesizer to achieve the effect. "Sexual Healing" was also covered by a number of other artists, including Ben Harper and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Another interesting fact about "Sexual Healing" is that the song was originally intended to be much slower and more ballad-like. However, Gaye's producer, Freddy Cousaert, convinced him to speed up the tempo and give the song a more danceable beat. This decision likely contributed to the song's commercial success and popularity in dance clubs. Additionally, the song's music video featured Gaye alongside a number of backup dancers, which was somewhat unusual for the artist's videos at the time.

Essa música é fabulosa! E essa versão é esplêndida! Marvin Gaye é sem dúvidas, um dos melhores cantores desse mundo.
@PurplePinkRed
I really enjoyed this! Never heard a female voice on this or a duet version. Marvin Gaye will always be the classic and the best, but Ne-Yo and Sarah have great voices. Whoever did Sarah's make-up, hair and outfits were spot on. The overall video concept is fantastic too.
@djbreezemusic
Bolton also did good!
@PurplePinkRed
@BassLevels Entertainment Yes indeed!
@markjohnson8436
Hello beautiful 😍
@patinho5589
The video is just referencing the film 9 and a half weeks scene for scene
@myraallen2951
She pretty
@luacristal9427
Amei a versão dela que é muito parecida com a do extraordinário George Michael mas a música é de Marvin Gaye 🖤
@andreiadesouzasilva5410
Que vibe!!!
Coloco essa música e meu esposo já sabe!!!😋
@CarlosSilva-pm1vn
Clássico dos clássicos essa versão ficou top demais ainda mais com essa voz da Sarah Connor e o Ne-Yo.
