[Verse 1] Mister Marvin Gaye came to me Just last night in a dream Said he had a song for me he never released He would like for me to sing And then I woke up this morning There was a melody in my head Hurried so I wouldn't forget it I grabbed the pen and paper by the bed Hummed it a couple of times Until the words start making sense Jotting down a couple of lines I think it went a little something like this [Chorus 1] He said, people, times are changing He said, people, stop your complaining Oh, people, you gotta give something to get something People, he wasn't playing around You gonna end up with nothing [Verse 2] Said, have more than what you show Speak less than what you know If you ain't got nothing good to say Then keep your damn mouth closed Be a man of you word, see it through 'til the end If God can't trust you with the smallest things He'll never trust you with the big Remember, hurt people, wanna hurt people And church people, are sometimes the worst people So work, people, gotta know your worth, people To get what you deserve [Chorus 2] He said, people, times are changing He said, people, stop your complaining Oh, people, you gotta give something to get something Better stop playing around Before you wind up with nothing La, la, la, la [Outro] People, I think the world's changing You are what you think you are Love is love, love is love
