You're the man [alternate version 2]


Well
You been talkin’, talkin’ to the people
Tryin’ to get them to go your way
Telling us, telling us not to worry
You say we won’t be led astray
We’re so tired of your signifying
How do we know, till it’s too late
Whether or not you’ve been lying?
Think about the mistakes you make
I believe, sir, that humanity’s at stake
You see, busin’, busin’ is just one issue

One Issue
What about the rest of it, mister?
Well
If you, if you got the plan
I said
If you’ve got the master plan
I got to vote for you
Ah yeah
I got to vote for you
‘Cause You’re the man I know, ah yeah!
Maybe what this country needs is a lady
Is a Lady for president
No, we don’t wanna hear no more lies
About
How you plan to economize
We want our dollar value increased
And employment to rise
This heavy taxation has got us all in this awful situation
Don’t give us no peace sign
Turn around
Rob the people blind
Economics
Money is all you’re interested in
Do you have a plan all the people can share in?
‘Cause if you’ve got the plan
I got to vote for you
Cause You’re the man. I know!

Jesus
People marching on Washington
Why not hear what they have to say?
Because the tables might turn against you
Set around Election Day
Demagogues and admitted minority haters should never be President, this time a lady
Will you, Will you stop the bombs
Right all the wrongs
This administration has done?
I know peace and freedom is the issue

Oh Lord!
Do you have a plan with you, mister?
‘Cause If you’ve got a plan
I said
You, You’ve got the master plan
Well I got to vote for you
Oh Lord I got to vote for you
‘Cause! You’re the man
Got to vote for you!

If you’re gonna take a stand
Got to vote for you. Gonna be the man?
What about the issues?
What about the young folk?
What about marijuana?
What about peace?
Peace in the land
Do you understand?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, take a stand
Then I’ll vote for you
Think, you’re the man
Tell me something
Don’t run away
Tell me something
Gotta see you your face
I gotta vote for you
Think that you’re the man
Gotta to be strong
Whether you’re right or wrong

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics YOU'RE THE MAN [ALTERNATE VERSION 2] of MARVIN GAYE is also present in the album You're the man (2019)

Biografia

Marvin Gaye, born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. (Washington D.C., April 2, 1939 – Los Angeles, April 1, 1984), was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and arranger widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in soul and R and B music. He began his career as a gospel singer in the 1950s before joining Motown Records in 1961. With his smooth and melodic vocals, Gaye's songs often explored themes of love, war, social justice, and personal struggles, resonating with audiences worldwide. Among his most celebrated hits are "Let's Get It On", "Sexual Healing", "What's Going On", and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". The latter, a duet with Tammi Terrell, became an anthem of hope and unity. Gaye received numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards, and his album "What's Going On" is considered a masterpiece of soul music. His life was marked by personal turmoil and addiction issues, culminating in the tragic murder of his father by Marvin himself in 1984.
