Marvin Gaye

The world is just a great big onion.
(Marvin):
And pain and fear,
Are the spices that make you cry.
Oh, and the only way to get rid,
Of this great big onion.
(Valerie):
Is to plant love seeds,
Until it dies, uh huh.
Verse 1:
(Marvin):
Hey world!
We got a great big job to do.
Yeah, we need you,
And every-body pull us through.
Bridge 1:
Don't you know we've,
Got to clean up this place,
And reach for a higher goal, yeah.
(Valerie): Yes we do now.
We gotta be headstrong,
About rightin' the wrong,
And make a mountain,
Of happy souls, oh,
(Marvin): Oh...
Chorus 2:
The world is just a great big onion,
(Marvin):
And I don't care,
It's the face people like to wear.
(Valerie): Yes it is now.
Oh, and the only way to get rid,
Of this great big onion;
(Valerie):
Every single soul's,
Got to do their share,
Uh huh.
Verse 2:
(Marvin):
So come on,
Let's knock on every door.
Tell them love,
Is the answer,
Whether they're,
Rich or poor, oh yeah.
Bridge 2:
For we don't care,
What you do, how you look,
Or your status claim, baby.
(Valerie): No no.
Because brothers and sisters,
From now on,
Is gonna be everybody's name, oh, oh.
*KEY CHANGE*

Chorus 3:
The world is just a great big onion.
(Marvin):
And pain and fear,
Are the spices that make you cry.
(Valerie): Yes it is.
Oh, and the only way to get rid,
Of this great big onion;
Coda:
(Valerie):
Is to plant love seeds,
(Marvin): Now everybody,
Got to plant love seeds.
(Valerie): Come on and,
Plant love seeds,
(Marvin): Until it dies.
Outro:
The world is just,
A great big onion.
