Gaye, Marvin - Got To Give It Up Lyrics






I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
But my body yearned to be free
I got up on the floor and thought
Somebody could choose me
No more standin' there beside the walls
I done got myself together baby
And now I'm havin' a ball
As long as you're groovin'
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
Might wanna make romance
Move your body, oooo baby, you dance all night
To the groove and feel alright
Everybody's groovin' on like a fool
But if you see me spread out and let me in
Baby just party high and low
Let me step into your erotic zone
Move it up
Turn it 'round
Oooo shake it down
Oowwww, you can love me when you want to babe
This is such a groovy party baby
We're here face to face
Everybody's swingin'
This is such a groovy place
All the young ladies are so fine
You're movin your body easy with no doubts
I know what you thinkin' baby
You wanna turn me out
Think I'm gonna let you do it babe

Keep on dancin'
You got to get it
Got to give it up
[repeat until end]

  7. J.... C....

    Good song but I prefer the original version by Pharrell.

  8. p.... 2....

    Being born a genius is almost a death sentence. On another note my idol Michael Jackson pretty much ripped this whole song and no one even heard it. Mike knew the average person was dumb as bricks......

    p.... 2....

    pappagetti 2009 which song

    p.... 2....

    @Moses Diaz Don't Stop Til You Get Enough is basically this reimagined. Even down to the percussions. Then again... A lot of stuff on Off The Wall is ripped. The lead song is Boogie Nights. How people don't hear that is beyond me.

  9. W.... ....

    It’s time to dance 💃 no more standing on the side of the wall. Move your body and dance all night 💞long

  10. K.... ....

  12. p.... ....

    Remember my brother skateboarding down hill with hobie skateboard team in Atlanta they played this song on a loop. Chatahoochie raft race. My dad wearing a blue Jean leisure suit. Dad playing Charlie pride record. My dad's coworker playing eagles desperado over and over.

  36. M.... ....

    Ridiculous that Pharrell and Tommy thicke has to pay that much. It’s barely even similar.

    WBIL TUSKEGEE , WHERE WE BELIEVE IN LOVE 😘

  63. A.... C....

    The GOAT...prove me wrong!

  64. J.... a....

    acabo de descubrir esta canción y creo que ya se quedo en mi cabeza para siempre

  65. J.... T....

    65 and still jamming

  66. J.... L....

    The bass is so groovy listen!!!

  67. D.... F....

    No offense to Pharrell and Robin Thicke but they can't compete with the soul of Mr. Marvin Gaye

  68. r.... ....

    I'm here because Marvin is fucking cool.

  69. V.... H....

    I completely understand actions being taken for artists that steal material and pass it off as their own, but this is not one of those cases when considering Blurred Lines. The bass line isn’t the same at all, the percussion sounds kind of similar, and the melody is completely different. This isn’t like Queen’s Pressure vs Ice Ice Baby. Can’t believe Pharrell got sued for this.

  70. A.... K....

    OMG! I've been looking for this song for years... I could'nt remember the name / lyrics etc. YAY!

  71. j.... ....

    Love love love it

  72. L.... H....

    Mmmmbop! Got to give it uppp!

  73. S.... R....

    Marvin's todo Genial! Te AMo!

  74. N.... i....

    Heard this song this weekend at my mother-in-law's birthday party she still brags that she touched James Brown's cape. I had to get up and dance. What a great song what a great artist. Y'all be good be safe.

  75. M.... B....

    This my shit

  76. F.... G....

    After all these years this is still a head banger indeed ! ! !

    F.... G....

    A soultrain record indeed

  77. E.... S....

    LOVE Marvin. What a gorgeous man and so talented. I was devastated when he was killed.

  78. P.... ....

    I don't think it sounds THAT much like Blurred Lines.

  79. g.... ....

    So GOOD. Keep the faith.

  80. [.... h....

    this is the only song that can get me to break out some hip moves

  81. D.... D....

    Ulan teksaslı dayı :)

  82. C.... E....

    Thank You Ice Cube and the barbershop for this

  83. D.... K....

    Cool song...

  84. T.... T....

    2019, still grooving

  85. F.... T....

    Y'all here from Pharrell and Rick Rubin Have an Epic Conversation?

  86. C.... B....

    Play "Blurred Lines" at the same time in another tab...fucking trippy.
    TLDR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDUC1LUXSU

  87. D.... M....

    E não me deixou dormir fazendo festinhas kkkk

  88. S.... ....

    Blurred Lines was inspired by this!

  89. L.... O....

    Gaye’s family is a disgrace to this man

  90. D.... n....

    Where are the nude models?

  91. I.... E....

    The Bassline is different, the drum beat is different (but similar) and thats about it.... And obviously the lyrics as well as melody is different. Not sure how they lost that case.

    I.... E....

    Influenced by, but not exact.

  92. L.... ....

    This is a classic, dont u eva fuk wit it,sorry Robin, sorry Pharrell.

  93. S.... C....

    Excellent. XXX

  94. G.... ....

    I agree with the ones that say that there is only a slight similarity in the instrumentals between Got to Give it Up and Blurred Lines. I mean, I've had a lot of experience with music over the course of 11-12 years, and I feel like the two are different enough to be enjoyed as their own separate entities. I do.



    I mean come on, how many hit songs have we accumulated over the last 50 years? Too many to count. Songwriters can only make the music of a song so distinct from every other hit song. The Gaye family was reaching.

  95. M.... w....

    Who is listening while getting a blow job, eating Mac n Cheese while wearing a Crown.. NO ONE CARES! when or why you are listening, Dumbass Idiots !!!

  96. W.... J....

    I loved this Disco song!!! I guess I still do!

  97. L.... ....

    I discovered this amazing song through the amazing dance scene in Summer of Sam.

  98. D.... B....

    A timeless track 👣 👣 can't help but get ya groove on💯

    D.... B....

    If this tune doesn't make you move, you might be dead.
