Marvin Gaye - Love Me Now or Love Me Later lyrics
[Marvin Gaye - Love Me Now or Love Me Later lyrics]
Once upon a time
Where you and me lived in infinity
There were two of us
A God of love and a God of evil
Something about polarity - you know
Day and night black and white, hot and
Cold, wrong and right, life and death
Polarity, without the opposite we
Could never be
Now this is all-knowing entity
Of good and evil
Decided that the place was awfully lonely
So they decided that they
Would create a world
Of insects and flowers and animals
And birds and life untold
Worlds within a world of good
Things for the good
And evil things for the evil
And there was jealousy
Now comes man
Devil wanted to have all the control
But the Good Lord said
"We gonna have to share equally
In this here human soul
But we will give man understanding
And reason to decide
Whether to join a God of love and peace
Or burn in your eternal fire"
Lord, have mercy and stay with me
Good God said, "I really, I really want to
Love 'em and give 'em all
The things that they desire
And bless 'em and love 'em so much and
I got to give 'em reason 'cause I
Want 'em to come back to me
When the power of evil is all gone"
Whoa, some souls are ready to
Rejoin the Lord of love
(And no need to mourn)
Did you ever wonder why a little
Baby cry when he's born?
His soul isn't happy 'cause we got
To give up all the sin
But we coming a-home my friend until the
Soul is ready to be Spirit again
Good Lord don't mind, when you're ready
He'll be ready
'Cause time don't mean a thing to these Lords
The Evil Lord don't mind if you're not ready
He wants you to bring your soul to him
It's a power struggle, my friend
A Buddhist monk can burn his
Body without a flinch i think he's ready
The Evil Lord tempts a man with the things
Heart and the soul and the flesh
That you put on him and desire
To keep him from you:
"I don't think you shoulda did right
You give him too much power
I'll make him destroy all we
Created - weak and foolish, baby"
And the Good Lord said, "No, no
I know know know mankind can feel my love"
And the Evil Lord said
"No, no, no, no, no, no, I want 'em all
You shouldn't have gave him reason
You shouldn't have gave him reason"
'Cause we are the soul to the mind
And the mind to the brain and
The brain to the body
Get what the soul desires and Evil said
"I got what the soul
Desires for mankind's flesh
Having fun, and uh, I know what they like and
I'm gonna put it on 'em, baby
'Cause your body's really nothing now
But a safe for the soul"
And then the Good Lord says
"You can listen to me, I'm in your soul
Your decision is free
I gave you reason, and don't
You wanna be with me, do right?"
Walk in the light, I love, baby
Where you and me lived in infinity
There were two of us
A God of love and a God of evil
Something about polarity - you know
Day and night black and white, hot and
Cold, wrong and right, life and death
