Like Marvin Gaye Said (What’s Going On) Lyrics

I open my shades to my window
I see crime, crime of the mind
I don't understand why
So a prayer for guidance I try
Lord please give me strength to find what is right
What's right in these times?
I need to be strong to know what's going on
To know what's going on

I got to stay real strong
To know what's going on
What's going on? (x15)

Yea, la, la, la, la, la…

I try to figure out where I fit in
But I know I got to keep myself for now
These days I try to fly, fly real high
But I know that wings aren't easy to earn
So I must yearn
Must try for my wisdom from my stride
From my stride
From my stride
I grab ?? too long
I choose from right and wrong
???
What's going on? (30x)

Oh what's going on

What's going on?

Girl what's going on?
What's going on?
What's, what's going on?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
