1. 개요


마빈 게이의 1982년 앨범인 'Midnight Love'에 수록된 곡이다.

2. 상세


이 노래를 만들 당시의 마빈 게이는 포르노에 중독된 상태였는데, 지인에게 말 그대로 'Sexual Healing(성적 치료)'를 받아야 한다는 조언을 듣고 이런 노래를 만들게 되었다고.
참고로 이 곡은 미국 흑인음악 사상 최초로 (훗날에 힙합과 일렉트로니카 씬의 핵심이 된) Roland의 드럼머신 TR-808 사운드가 전면 배치된 히트곡이다. (미국 밖으로 돌려보면 롤랜드의 본국 밴드인 옐로우 매직 오케스트라의 앨범 BGM이 최초)

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Oh, baby now let's get down tonight
Ooh 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, 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
Honey, I know there is one thing I can do
I can get on the telephone I can call you up baby
'Cause honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
'Cause love you give 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, 'cause you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
When I get that feeling, I want sexual healing
Sexual healing baby 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
Just grab a hold juts take control
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 that feeling, I want sexual healing
When I get that feeling, I want sexual healing
Please don't procrastinate, I want you to trust me
