Sexual Healing
Marvin Gaye Feat. Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics

Get up, get up, get up, get up
Encouraging oneself to start the day.

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Repeating the previous line.

Oh, baby now let's get down tonight (ba-ba-ba, bum)
Asking to engage in an intimate activity tonight.

Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven (heal me my darling, heal me my darling) I need some lovin' And baby, I can't hold it much longer (heal me my darling, heal me my darling) It's getting stronger and stronger
Expressing intense feelings of sexual desire and need for physical intimacy.

When I get that feeling I want sexual healing Sexual healing, oh baby Makes me feel so fine
Identifying the desire for physical intimacy as a means of relieving stress and feeling good.

Helps to relieve my mind Sexual healing baby, is good for me Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Elaborating on the benefits of physical intimacy as a way to relieve anxiety and maintain overall well-being.

Whenever blue teardrops are fallin' 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 thing you're dealing Oh I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing
Describing a situation in which emotional distress is relieved by reaching out to a partner for physical and emotional support.

Let's make love tonight 'Cause you do it right
Expressing confidence in the partner's ability to provide satisfying physical intimacy.

Baby, I got sick this mornin' (heal me my darling, heal me my darling) A sea was stormin' inside of me Baby, I think I'm capsizin'(heal me my darling, heal me my darling) The waves are risin' and risin'
Describing physical and emotional distress in vivid metaphors, expressing the urgent need for physical intimacy.

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, it's good for me Sexual healing is something that's good for me Well, it's good for me and it's so good to me my baby, oh
Reiterating the benefits of physical intimacy for both parties involved.

Come take control, just grab a hold Of my body and mind, soon we'll be making it, honey I'll be 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 (Heal me my darling) (Heal me my darling) I can't wait for you to operate
Inviting the partner to take the lead and assuring them of their ability to provide physical and emotional satisfaction.

When I get this feeling (heal me my darling) I need sexual healing Oh, when I get this feeling (heal me my darling) I need sexual healing I gotta have sexual healing, darling (heal me my darling) 'Cause I'm all alone I need Sexual healing, darling (heal me my darling) 'Til you come back home (heal me my darling)
Expressing a persistent desire for physical and emotional support and the urgent need for physical intimacy, especially in times of loneliness.

Please don't procrastinate It's not good to masturbate
Not from the original song
