Right On (Detroit Mix) Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

What’s Going On (40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

2001

[Verse 1]
\nHey baby
\nThat's alright, people
\nI know that's alright
\nEvery day, that's alright
\nOh, when we love each other
\nI know that's alright
\nOh, feel it, feel it
\nOh, everybody feel it
\nI know that's alright, yeah
\nSome of us were born
\nWith money to spend
\nSome of us were born
\nFor races to win
\nSome of us are aware
\nThat it's good for us to care
\nSome of us feel the icy wind
\nOf poverty blowing in the air
\nFor those of us who simply like to socialize
\nFor those of us who tend the sick
\nAh, and heed the people's cries
\nLet me say to you
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nRight on
\nOh, right on, feel it, yeah
\nOh, oh, oh Lord, Lord, people
\nAnd I say right on, right on
\nHoney, right on, woo, woo, woo
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nFor those of us who live
\nWhere, where peace is craved
\nFor those of us who live, mhm
\nWhere hatred is enslaved, alright
\nFor those of us who live a life, yeah
\nSurrounded by good fortune and wealth
\nTalk about it
\nThose of us who live a life
\nHey, hey, hey, enjoying ourselves
\nFor those of us who got drowned
\nIn the sea of happiness
\nFor the soul that takes pride in his God
\nAnd himself and everything else
\nLove
\nThat's all it is
\nWe need love
\nThat's all it is
\nOh, oh
\nLove, love
\n
\n[Outro]
\nAh, can you love? I need love
\nLove, love
\nLove is the thing
\nLove, love, love, love
\nSweet love, love
\nWonderful love
\nAh, true love, love
\nLove for your brother
\nLove for God
\nLove, pure love
\nLove can conquer hate every time
\nGive out some love and you'll find peace sublime
\nAnd my darlin', one more thing
\nIf you let me, I will take you
\nTo live where love is King
\nWoo, ah, ah baby, baby
\nAh baby
\nPeople, people
\nPeople who love and care
\nOoh, that's alright
\nAlright
\nAh, ah...\n\n
