Sexual Healing Lyrics

Ooh, now let's get down tonight Baby I'm hot just like an oven I need some lovin' And baby, I can't hold it much longer It's getting stronger and stronger And when I get that feeling I want Sexual Healing Sexual Healing, oh baby Makes me feel so fine Helps to relieve my mind Sexual Healing baby, is good for me Sexual Healing is something that's good for me 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 I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right Baby I got sick this morning A sea was storming inside of me Baby I think I'm capsizing The waves are rising and rising And when I get that feeling I want Sexual Healing Sexual Healing is good for me Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me Sexual Healing is something that's good for me And it's good for me and it's good to me My baby ohhh Come take control, just grab a hold Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it Honey, oh we're feeling fine You're my medicine open up and let me in Darling, you're so great I can't wait for you to operate I can't wait for you to operate When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing [Ad lib]

Meaning of Sexual Healing

“Sexual Healing” is a soulful plea for connection and solace amidst overwhelming emotional turmoil. Marvin Gaye’s voice embodies a vulnerable yearning, confessing to being consumed by intense feelings – “a sea was storming inside me,” feeling like he's "capsizing" – that threaten his mental stability. The repeated desire for “Sexual Healing” isn’t simply about physical pleasure; it represents a profound need for comfort, reassurance, and restoration. He desperately seeks someone to “take control,” to “grab a hold” of him, recognizing their love as the antidote to his distress. The song is an honest expression of vulnerability and dependence, portraying a man needing healing through intimate connection, ultimately highlighting the power of love to alleviate suffering and bring about a sense of calm and euphoria – "Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush."
