Marvin Gaye — Time to Get it Together Alternate Version

[Marvin riffing] Jesus said time would heal ALL WOUNDS (Time... Time...) But we have to live right to get the time (Time... Time...) Oh, time (Time... Time...) Please, time, you got to be a friend of mine Sometimes I am unable to move (Sometimes I'm ready to groove And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then) I let temptation get me off of my groove (Sometimes I'm ready to groove And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then) Sometimes I get it Sometimes it's hard To stay with it But right now, get it, gotta get it, get it Got to stay with it Makin' up my mind to get it Gonna get it together Gonna love every day every night till I get it All right Pretty good lovin', oh Get it together Gonna love every day every night till I get it All right Oh, gonna get it together Gonna love every day every night till I get it All right - Woo! Oh, gonna get it together Gonna love every day every night till I get it All right, baby Oh, gonna get it together Gonna love every day every night till I get it All right Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock - My life's a clock and it's winding down From the day you're born Till the day you're in the ground Come on, let's say this thing together! I've been racing against time Trying my best to find my way Change our world in just one day Blowin' coke all up my nose Gettin' in and out my clothes Foolin' 'round with midnight hoes But that chapter of life's closed From the day you're born Till the day you're in the ground Father, forgive me To sing and dance, give love a chance Please be on my side Please be on my side Just a few more days and I'll change my ways Please be on my side Ain't no need For us to leave Before we want to But if we respect father time in our prime Aw, baby, we won't have to Sometimes I'm ready to groove And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then Sometimes I'm ready to groove And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then Sometimes I'm ready to groove And then sometimes I'm unable to move and then Sometimes I'm ready to groove And then sometimes I'm unable to move Like the rest of mankind I've been racing against time Trying my best to find my way Change my world in just one day "I can dig it, I can dig it!" Cold-blooded out there, man, I been fooling around a long time Yeah, I been trying to hit the big one "You got to learn!" Like the rest of mankind I've been racing against time Trying my best to find my way Change my world in just one day Blowin' coke all up my nose Gettin' in and out my clothes Foolin' 'round with midnight hoes But that chapter of life's closed From the day you're born Till the day you're in the ground I've got to say, I've got some debts to say (please be on my side) Please be on my side (time, time) Know I've done some wrong, I won't be here long Please be on my side, please be on my side (Stop fooling with time! Stop fooling with time!) You know, Ed? Life's a bitch, man I tried my best to do right, man but you know it's cold-blooded out there Got to learn sooner or later, don't you? Got to learn! Life can't be this way! Got to sometimes in life, make a change. Every man has to make a change. Sooner the better is the saying Sometimes it takes you a long time to learn Way too long, way too long, man. Things be going down, you'll be sorry for it [Marvin relaying instructions for Sparrow, next track] Get to the F-minor there, now the whole process repeats again And then it just repeats! Hey Mike, let me have a pelmel when you get a sec, please, bless you Before we cut One, two, three, four!
