RIFF 1 
Oh baby now let's get down tonight 
 
Baby, I'm hot just like your oven 
and I need your lovin' 
and, baby, I can't hold it much longer 
oh it's getting stronger and stronger 
And when I get this feeling I need sexual healing 
 
Sexual healing 
It makes me feel so fine 
It helps to relieve the mind 
RIFF 2 
Sexual healing is something that is so very good for me 
 
RIFF 3 
Whenever these blue tear drops are falling, oh no 
And my emotional stability is leaving me 
Oh there is something I can do 
Oh I can get on the telephone and call you up baby 
Darling I know you'll be there to relieve me 
The love you give to me will free me 
so if you don't know the things you're dealing 
Well I can tell you darling, oh it's sexual healing 
 
RIFF 1 
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 
 
Heal me, my darling 
Heal me, my darling 
Heal me, my darling 
Heal me, my darling 
 
Baby, you now i got sick this morning 
Well a sea was storming up inside of me 
Baby, I think I'm capsizing 
All the waves are rising 
And when I get this feeling i want sexual healing 
 
Sexual healing 
It makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush 
It helps to relieve the mind, Lord it's good for us 
 
Sexual healing, is good for me 
RIFF 2 
Sexual healing is something so so good for me 
 
RIFF 3 
Oh it?s good for us, oh it's so good to me 
My baby Whoahohh woah 
 
Just grab a hold 
Come take control 
Of my body and mind 
Soon we'll be making love 
Honey, we'll be doin' fine 
You're my medicine open up and let me in 
 
Oh Darling darling, you're so great 
I can't wait for you to operate 
 
RIFF 1 
heal me my darling 
I can't wait for you to operate 
heal my darling 
I can?t wait for you to operate 
I can?t wait for you to heal me, 
 
I can?t wait for you to, 
Oh baby whenever these blue teardrops are falling, 
You know I'll come calling 
 
FINAL 
Heal me, my darling
