Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - The Onion Song lyrics

The world is just a great big onion

And hate & fear are the spices that make it fly

Oh (Uh-huh) baby

And the only way to get rid

Of this great big onion

Is to plant love seeds until it dies

(Wooo) Uh-huh

Hey world, we got a great big job to do

Yeah, we need you

And everybody pull us through

Folks you know we got to clean up this place

And reach for a higher goal

(Yeah) Yes we do now

We got to be head-strong about rightin' the wrong

And make a lot more happy souls

Oh baby

The world is just a great big onion

And I don't care it's the face people like to wear

Oh yes it is (baby)

And the only way to get rid

Of this great big onion

Every single soul's got to do their share

Tell 'em about it babyMarvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - The Onion Song - http://motolyrics.com/marvin-gaye-and-tammi-terrell/the-onion-song-lyrics.html

Uh-huh (woo)

Come on

Let's knock on every door (Woo)

Tell 'em love is the answer

Whether the're rich or poor

Ah yeah

Now we don't care what you do,

How you look or your status claim baby

You'll know (Ooh)

Because brothers & sisters from now on

It's gonna be everyones name

Uh-huh (Ohh)

The world (the world) is just a great big onion

And pain & fear are the spices that make you cry

Yes it is (Oh baby)

And the only way to get rid

Of this great big onion

Is to plant love seeds

Now everybody got to plant love seeds

Come on and plant love seeds

Until it dies

The world is just a great big onion
