Life Is For Learning - Marvin Gaye

Oh, oh my darling

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

The artist pays the price

So you won’t have to pay

If only we would listen

To what they have to say

There are songs from wisdom

There are songs from satan

There are songs from lovin'

And there are songs from hatin'

There are songs from lust

And there are songs from pain

Some songs were done by chosen men

Some from men, insane

Groove, baby, groove on the light, one time

Groove, baby, on the right

Dance, baby, to the light this time

Dance sugar, on the right side

Groove, baby, groove on the light this time

Groove, baby, on the right side

Dance, baby, to the light, lookin' good

Dance, baby, to the light

Some songs will show which way to go

If only you would listen

Bad songs that turn you on

Show you how much is missing

Songs we’re meant to listen to

You’re checkin' out the best

Good songs were sent to men from God

Help us pass the test

Life is for learning

And the purpose is joinin' up

With the love of thousand bodies needed

But your soul is never destroyed

Your love, darling, this is all we desire

And all they want is a little understanding, yeah

Sometimes a song can prophesize a warning from the Master

To make your soul listen to, make your learnin' faster

The Devil have his special plan

To make hot songs for sinners

Thank God we’ll turn it around

And make good songs for winners

Ay, did you know

Some songs can corrupt your flesh to dust

The only song you should live

Are songs that you can trust

The artist pays the price
