CAN I GET A WITNESS
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Ah ah listen everybody, specially you girls
Is it right to be left alone when the one you love is never home
I love too hard my friends sometimes say
But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain’t fair
Can I get a witness
I want a witness
Somebody
I want a witness
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep ’cause I haven’t seen my baby all week
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Took to find it out all night I been cryin’
But I believe a woman’s a man’s best friend
I’m gonna stick by hr till the very end
Well she causes so much misery how’s a gal supposed to be
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain’t right
Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
I want a witness
Somebody
Can I get a witness
Everybody knows especially you girls
That a love can be sad but my beloved’s twice as bad
Now you kids do all agree that ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness
I want a witness
Yeah, I want a witness
Somebody
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep ’cause I haven’t seen my baby all week
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness…
CREEPING
***************
I can hear you sighin’
Sayin’ you’ll stay beside me
Why must it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
On the beach we’re sittin’
Huggin’, squeezin’, kissin’
Why must it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
In my dreams
When I’m sleep at night babaa
I feel those moments of ecstasy
When you sleep at night babaa…
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh, love is so amazing
Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah…
Guess you will be stayin’
So let it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
In my dreams
When I’m sleep at night babaa
I feel those moments of ecstasy
When you sleep at night babaa…
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh, love is so amazing
Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah…
Guess you will be stayin’
So let it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
NGICUELELA ES UNA HISTORIA I AM SINGING
***************
Ngiculela ikusasg
Ngliyacula nao thando
Ngicula ngelinyi langa
Uthando luyobusa
Jikelele kulomblada wethu
Es una historia de manana
Es una historia de amor
Es una historia que amor reinera
Por nuestro mundo
Es una historia de mi corazon
There’s songs to make you smile
There’s songs to make you sad
But with an happy song to sing
It never seems so bad
To me came this melody
So I’ve tried to put in words how I feel
Tomorrow will be for you and me
I am singing of topmorrow
I am singing of love
I am singing someday love will reign
Througout this world of ours
I am singing of love from my heart
Let’s all sing someday sweet love will reign
Througout this world of ours
Let’s start singing
Of love from our hearts
Let’s start singing
Of love from our hearts
SO WHAT THE FUSS
***************
If I’m caught at a dance party without my dancin shoes
And everybody dances on my bare feet
Shame on me
If I’m mindin my business just doin the right thing
And you try to front me off in the street
Shame on you
If a family’s waiting for that special blessing to
come their way
But they ain’t tryin to get on their knees and pray
Shame on them
And if we live in a time where every nation’s fightin
’round the world
Yet we can’t all agree that peace is the way
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
So what the fuss
If I gotta get up early in the morning for a job
interview
And I forget to set the stupid alarm
Shame on me
If my children are playin outside like little children do
And you come ’round there tryin to bring them some harm
Shame on you
Should I be drivin thru a klantown, find a restaurant
to get me some food
And someone says “hey boy, we don’t serve your kind”
Shame on them
And if we live in a democracy and you don’t use your
power to vote
Knowin some would like to turn back the hands of time
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
So what the fuss
If I’m hooked on a habit knowin damn well it could
cost me my life
Yet I keep doin what I should do without
Shame on me
If you’re locked in a marriage and your other half
just gives you abuse
Yet you’ve convinced yourself that there’s no way out
Shame on you
If we’re jammin the music and somebody’s got the
audacity
To say that they can jam it better than us
Shame on them
And should there be just a handful that believe that
we are totally free
And there’s no need to fight for equality
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
So what the fuss
PASSIONATE RAINDROPS
***************
The day’s been hot and sunny
Evening’s about to take control
The sky is painting pictures
Stirring up love bliss in our souls
The breeze carries the fragrance
Of the sweetest symphony as it blows through your hair
Better can be nowhere
Our voices turn to whispers
Blending with rhythms of the night
The nightingales sing a love song
Glancing down at us in their flight
The moisture brings forth magic
That permeates the midnight air
To kiss the love we share, are
Raindrops, passionate raindrops
The kind of rain that writes they’re
So in love on our skin
Raindrops, that we hope wont stop
Cooling the red hot love that we are making
Raindrops, passionate raindrops
That brings out all the fire that we have within
Raindrops cover every spot
Right to the last drop
We want all of you and then
Let each drop a rain be a lifetime that our love won’t end
Somewhere in our doing
Trying to make our bodies one
We fall prey to moon dreams
Till awaken by the morning sun
Still disorientated
I feel something warm on my face
Coupled by your embrace
We gaze in awe and wonder
As if we can’t believe it’s so
Just that taste of heaven
Has got us longing for much more
We lie there impatient
Anxiously waiting foe the sun to go in
And the clouds to burst again, to give us
Raindrops, passionate raindrops
The kind of rain that writes they’re
So in love on our skin
Raindrops, that we hope wont stop
Cooling the red hot love that we are making
Raindrops, passionate raindrops
That brings out all the fire that we have within
Raindrops cover every spot
Right to the last drop
We want all of you and then
Let each drop a rain be a lifetime that our love won’t end
TREAT MYSELF
***************
There’s a place I can go
When the tension is high and I’m feeling low
In a falsh I can be in an another space
As a different me, have a new id.
I think I’ll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I’m going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
There’s no rich, there’s no poor
Everything is love no such thing as “war”
There’s no black and no white
Rainbow colors they, dress the day and nights, life’s paradise
I think I’ll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I’m going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
It’s amazing how the mind
Can do what you want it to
It can take you to a time
Where you’ll want to stay forever
Feeling overlasting pleasure
If your life’s in a place
That you can hardly bare
Come along with me to mental ecxtasy
I think I’ll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I’m going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Wahtsoever things are lovely
Whatsoever things are pure
Whatsoever things are honest
Whatsoever things are true
