Lyrics:

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel, like I feel baby
Then come on, oh come on, ooh

Let's get it on, oh baby
Let's get it on, let's love baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on, whoa

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give, understand me sugar
Since we got to be here
Let's live, I love you

There's nothin' wrong with me
Lovin' you, baby love, love
And givin' yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true, oh baby

(Let me love you)
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be? Oh, oh
(Let me love you)
I'm askin' you baby to get it on with me, oh oh
(Let me love you)
(Let me love you)
I ain't gonna worry, I ain't gonna push
(Let me love you)
I won't push you baby
(Let me love you)
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush, hey

Let's get it on, let's get it on
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Come on baby, hey, hey
Let your love come out
If you believe in love
Let's get it on, ooh, let's get it on baby
This minute, oh yeah let's get it on
Please, let's get it on
I know you know what I been dreamin' of, don't you baby?
(My body wants some)
My whole body makes that feelin' of love, I'm happy
(My body wants some)
I ain't gonna worry, no I ain't gonna push
I won't push you baby, woo
Come on, come on, come on, come on darling
Stop beatin' 'round the bush
Oh, gonna get it on, threatenin' you, baby
I wanna get it on
You don't have to worry that it's wrong
If the spirit moves you
Let me groove you good
Let your love come down
Oh, get it on, come on baby
Do you know the meaning?
I've been sanctified, hey hey
Girl, you give me good feeling
So good somethin' like sanctified
Oh do right baby
Nothing wrong with love
If you want to love me just let yourself go
Oh baby, let's get it on

Recording sessions for the album took place during June 1970 to July 1973 at Hitsville U.S.A. and Golden World Studio in Detroit, and at Hitsville West in Los Angeles. Serving as Gaye's first venture into the funk genre, Let's Get It On also incorporates smooth soul and doo-wop styles alongside sexually suggestive lyrics, leading to one writer's description of it as "one of the most sexually charged albums ever recorded". Gaye infused ideas of spiritual healing in songs about sex and romance, in part as a way of coping with childhood abuses from his father Marvin Gay Sr., which had stunted his sexuality.

Following the breakthrough success of his socially conscious album What's Going On (1971), Let's Get It On helped establish Gaye as a sex icon and broadened his mainstream appeal. It produced three singles—the title track, "Come Get to This", and "You Sure Love to Ball"—that achieved Billboard chart success. Let's Get It On became the most commercially successful album of Gaye's career at Motown, resulting in more creative control being given to him by the label. Its erotic balladry, multi-tracking of Gaye's vocals, and seductive funk sound also influenced later R&B recording artists and producers, with the title track specifically helping pioneer the slow jam and quiet storm formats.[2]

In retrospect, Let's Get It On has been regarded by writers and music critics as a landmark recording in soul. It increased the popularity of funk during the 1970s, while Gaye's smooth-soul sound marked a change from his record label's previous success with the "Motown Sound" formula. Among the most acclaimed LPs in history, it frequently appears on professional rankings of the greatest albums and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame as a historically important recording. In 2001, it was reissued by Motown as a two-CD deluxe edition release. In 2023, the album was reissued with added material for its 50th anniversary.

Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. (né Gay; April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984)[1] was an American R&B and soul singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. He helped shape the sound of Motown in the 1960s, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist with a string of successes, which earned him the nicknames "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul", and is often considered one of the greatest singers of all time.
