[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, when I was in high school
I was in love with you lady, but you treated me so cool
I was drivin' a Chevy '72, it had 4 on the floor, girl
A hundred twenty, it would do

[Chorus]
And I remember Marvin Gaye
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"

[Verse 2]
And there was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea
I don't want to go fight, girl, cause you really love me
I remember Martin Luther King
Lord, he was the man, babe, that gave us all a dream

[Chorus]
And I remember Marvin Gaye
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"
I don't play with my love, oh
And I remember Marvin Gaye
Singin' "What's Goin' On?"

[Verse 3]
They used to have sweet music in the park
Lord, up in Monterey, straight down to melody bar
You used to wear, girl, them high pants
And when you strolled down the hall, all the boys wanted a chance
