Sexual Healing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some loving
And, baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

[Chorus]
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing, sexual healing
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing, baby
Sexual healing is something that's good for me

[Verse 2]
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up, baby
And, honey, I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
Ooh, I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing

[Verse 3]
Sexual healing
Let's make love tonight
Cause you do it right
Baby, I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
And, baby, I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising

[Chorus]
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing, sexual healing
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing, baby
Sexual healing is something that's good for me

[Bridge 1]
And it's good for me
And it's so good to me, my baby
Oh, come take control
Just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
We will doing it fine
You're my medicine
Open up and let me in
Oh, darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate

[Bridge 2]
When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing
When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing
When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing
When I get that feeling
Heal me baby

About

“Sexual Healing” is a song written by Marvin Gaye and Odell Brown. Originally recorded by Gaye, it was his first hit on the CBS label in 1982 winning him two Grammys in 1983: Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Instrumental Performance.

Intended for inclusion on Davy Spillane’s 1994 album A Place Among The Stones, Kate Bush recorded her version in 1993 or 1994. However, the track was left off the Spillane album as it “didn’t fit with the sound of the rest of the record”.

Before official release, the song had been played once before at the 1994 Kate Bush fan club convention in the Hippodrome, London. Just over a decade later it surfaced in 2005 as the b-side of Kate’s comeback single.
