Marvin Gaye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You in a rush, for what? Ain't gotta hurry up
Let's have the time of our lives
Haven't you heard when we, get to it carefully
We'll be in for a suprise?
Let's take the long way home, we can afford to roam
So many places unseen (Ooh, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
If we go slow tonight, this could be paradise
Get everything that we need
Make it count, every letter
When we care, ain't it better?
Feel the love, it's forever
So you should just relax and lеt me take my time

[Chorus]
Is it okay if I takе my time?
Show you how it feels when I connect to you
Sexual healing all night
Is it okay if I take my time?
Show you how it feels when I connect to you (You, ooh)
Sexual healing (Ooh, ooh) all night

[Verse 2]
We get in the mood and then
That's when the fun begins
Journey into the unknown (Unknown)
Where every thought is wild
Fantasies live aloud
Just you and I on our own
There's a couple of ways to touch
Intimacy is much more than the things that we see
[Pre-Chorus]
If we go slow tonight, this could be paradise
Get everything that we need (Need)
Make it count (Yes), every letter (Every letter)
When we care (When we care), ain't it better? (Oh, ooh-ooh)
Feel the love (Feel it), it's forever (It's forever)
So you should just relax and let me take my time

[Chorus]
Is it okay if I take my time? (Oh)
Show you how it feels when I connect to you (Connect)
Sexual healing (Oh, oh, oh, oh) all night
Is it okay if I take my time?
Show you how it feels when I connect to you
Sexual (Sexual) healing all night (All night, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Make it count, every letter (Care, ain't it better)
Ain't it better? (Love)
So just relax and (Let me take my time)

[Pre-Chorus]
Make it count (Make it count), every letter (Every letter)
When we care (When we care), ain't it better? (Ain't it better?)
Feel the love (Feel the love), it's forever
So you should just relax and let me take my time
[Chorus]
Is it okay if I take my time? (Oh)
Show you how it feels when I connect to you (Connect)
Sexual healing (Oh, oh, oh, oh) all night
Is it okay if I take my time?
Show you how it feels when I connect to you (Yeah)
Sexual (Sexual) healing all night (All night, yeah)

[Outro]
Make it count, every letter (Care)
Ain't it better? (Love)
(So) just relax and let me take my time
Make it count, every letter (Care)
Ain't it better (Love)
(So) just relax and
