Marvin Gaye Lyrics
Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You got the healing that I want
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
[Verse 1: Charlie Puth]
We got this king-size to ourselves
Don't have to share with no one else
Don't keep your secrets to yourself
It's Kama Sutra show and tell, yeah
[Refrain: Charlie Puth]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
There's lovin' in your eyes that pulls me closer
(Oh, it pulls me closer)
It's so subtle (It's so subtle)
I'm in trouble (I'm in trouble)
But I'd love to be in trouble with you
[Chorus: Charlie Puth & Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth]
Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You got the healin' that I want
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You've got to give it up to me
I'm screaming, "Mercy, mercy, please!"
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
And when you leave me all alone
I'm like a stray without a home
I'm like a dog without a bone
I just want you for my own
I got to have you, babe
[Refrain: Charlie Puth & Meghan Trainor]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
There's lovin' in your eyes that pulls me closer
(Oh, it pulls me closer)
It's so subtle (It's so subtle)
I'm in trouble (I'm in trouble)
But I'd rather be in trouble with you
[Bridge: Charlie Puth, Meghan Trainor]
Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
Ooh, baby, got that healing that you want, yeah
Like they say it in the songs
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
[Chorus: Charlie Puth & Meghan Trainor]
Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You got the healin' that I want
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on, babe
You've got to give it up to me
I'm screaming, "Mercy, mercy, please!"
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on, ooh

I listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Motown records. When I was making my record, I just wanted to make this soulful sound. When Marvin Gaye made his music, he evoked this feeling that would reach everybody.
Charlie told iHeart:
‘Marvin Gaye’ is the first record that I ever wrote in California, which is insane, because it did so well, and I never thought that would happen. I was honestly just fooling around thinking ‘okay, what’s a funny song I could make?’ And I was just like, ‘Let’s Marvin Gaye and get it on.’ And my friend was like, ‘That’s actually kinda tight, you should try and finish that.’ So it turned into a real song. And then I met Meghan Trainor at a party, and she wanted to sing on it, and she’s now my best friend and she’s featured on it.
