Once Upon a Time

Lyrics

[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 [Chorus] And I remember Marvin Gaye Singin' "What's Goin' On?" I don't play with my love, oh And I remember Otis Redding Sittin' at the dock of the bay But then he went away And I remember Sam Cooke Bring it on home to me From your love I can't be free I remember Elvis Presley And them blue suede shoes Lord, they gave me the blues [Outro] I remember Marvin Gaye Singin' "Let's Get It On"
