Got to Give Up, Part 1 Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

I used to go out to parties and stand around
′Cause I was too nervous to really get down
But my body yearned to be free
I got up on the floor and thought,"Somebody could choose me"

No more standin' there beside the walls
I done got myself together, baby
And now I′m havin' a ball
As long as you're groovin′
There′s always a chance
Somebody watchin'
Might wanna make romance

Move your body, ooh baby, you dance all night
To the groove and feel alright
Everybody′s groovin' on like a fool (move, move)
But if you see me spread out, let me in
Baby just party high and low
Let me step into your erotic zone


Move it up
Turn it ′round
Shake it down
Ow

You can love me when you want to, babe
This is such a groovy party, baby
We're here face to face, everybody′s swingin'
This is such a groovy place

All the young ladies are so fine
You're moving your body easy with no doubts
I know what you thinkin′ baby
You wanna turn me out
Think I′m gonna let you do it, babe

Keep on dancin' (you got to get it)
Got to give it up
Keep on dancin′ (you got to get it)
Got to give it up (yeah)
Keep on dancin' (you got to get it)
Got to give it up


Keep on dancin′ (you got to get it)
Got to give it up
Keep on dancin', oh darlin′, yeah (you got to get it)
Got to give it up
Keep on dancin', ooh baby (you got to get it)
Got to give it up (yeah)
Keep on dancin' (you got to get it)
Got to give it up
