In Our Lifetime Lyrics


(Funk, funk, funk for love)
(Come let's all get funky if you take the right
Please let's all get funky if you take the wrong
Come let's all get funky if you take the right
Please let's all get funky if you take the wrong...)It's the love funky music and the feeling can't control
Oh no, funky music and the rhythms in my soul
Hey, sweet love funky music and the beats in my head
I love funky music and my lady understandsShe can be funky, he can be funky, I can be funky too
With your love
You can be funky, we can be funky, I can be funky too
With some of your love
Home is where you live and play and laugh and be happy
Making love every day
We already know how to blues it
Sweat down my spine, feeling fine
Ain't it the love funk, baby?
Take every chance to make romance
Ain't it the love funk, baby?

What do I have now that is my greatest gift?
And it came to me one day, this is what it isIt's love that I'm looking for, baby, oh darlin'
Said it's love, baby, that I want to be about, oh baby
Hey hey love, baby, that I want to be, ooooh
Said it's love, what I want and really need, baby - yeah!
I need your attention, baby, yeah yeah, looking for more love
Honey, do you, do you want me, baby, hey, to give you my love?
Ohh, baby
Sometimes I don't need to cry
But there are the pitfalls of life
Here come the tears in my eyes
We accept the pleasure, we, we accept the pain
Oooh, heart, my heart
Oh baby, my heart
Oooh baby, my heart
Oooh, oooh baby, my heart
Come on baby, give up some loveShake your motion to the East
Shake your motion to the West
Give your heart and your body to the one you love the best
Shake your motion to the East
Shake your motion to the West
Give your heart and your body to the one you love the bestPlease let's all get funky if you take the evil
Please let's all get funky if you take the good
Please let's all get funky if you take the evil
Come let's all get funky if you take the goodIt's alright baby, to get funky
Oh baby, it's alright to get funky with love's creation, baby
Get funky, baby, funky with love
Now, uh, folks have said the world is coming to an end, baby
I wonder... in our lifetime?
Oh well, let's make love

Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. (2 April 1939 - 1 April 1984) was an American soul and rnb singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, known as "The Prince of Soul", or "The Prince of Motown." Originally a member of the doo-wop group The Moonglows, he pursued a solo career after the group disbanded and released many successful solo hits including "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", "Let's Get It On" and "What's Going On". His best albums are still held in extremely high regard, and he is often cited as one of the finest singers of his era.

Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. was born in 1939 to Marvin Gay, Sr. and Alberta Gay in Washington, D.C.. Gaye began his career in Motown in 1958, and soon became Motown's top solo male artist. He scored numerous hits during the 1960s, among them "Ain't That Peculiar", "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", and "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", as well as several hit duets with Tammi Terrell, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"" and "You're All I Need To Get By", before moving on to his own form of musical self-expression.

Along with Stevie Wonder, Gaye is notable for fighting the hit-making—but creatively restrictive—Motown record-making process, in which performers, songwriters and record producers were generally kept in separate camps. Gaye forced Motown to release his 1971 album What's Going On, which is today hailed as one of the best albums of all time. Subsequent releases proved that Gaye, who had been a part-time songwriter for Motown artists during his early years with the label, could write and produce his own singles without having to rely on the Motown system. This achievement would pave the way for the successes of later self-sufficient singer-songwriter-producers in African American music, such as Luther Vandross and Babyface.

During the 1970s, Gaye would release several other notable albums, including Let's Get It On and I Want You, and released several successful singles such as "Come Get to This", "Got To Give It Up" and "Sexual Healing". By the time of his shooting death in 1984, at the hands of his clergyman father, Gaye had become one of the most influential artists of the soul music era.
