CHEMICAL LOVE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
People goin’ round
Tellin’ others they are square
Around and round in circles
Is a ride that goes somewhere
All you need to fly
Is a heart dying to try
A chemical love
It’s a chemical love
Ain’t nothin to it
Gettin’ cash when you are broke
Doin’ lots of time
Is worth a little snort of coke
Infected needles
Can aid you in no time
Through chemical love
You’ve got a chemical love
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You’ve got a chemical jones
You’ve got a chemical love
Yeah, a chemical love
You’ve got chemical love
Some people find themselves hooked on the
weirdest things
That have nothing to do with living
God’s gift to us is our life what’s ours to him
If it’s not our love, then nothing’s given, given
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You’ve got a chemical jones
For a chemical love
Yes it’s true
The best things in life are free
Not material
Chemical or physically
Try it for yourself
You’ll get a guaranteed high
From spiritual love, natural miracle drug
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You’ve got a chemical jones
You’ve got a chemical love
You’ve got a chemical love
For a chemical drug
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You need a spiritual jones
For that spiritual love
I’m talking to you
We all could do with spiritual jones
For some spiritual love
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
ORDINARY PAIN
***************
When by the phone
In vain you sit
You very soon in your mind realize that it’s not just
An ordinary pain in your heart
When you by chance
Go knock on her door
Walkin’ away you’re convinced that it’s much more
Than just an ordinary pain in your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain in your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
When you catch up
But she says goodbye
Hold back your tears and before you start to cry
Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart
Tell her you’re glad
It’s over in fact
Can she take with her the pain she brought you back
Takin that ordinary pain from your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain from your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
You’re just a masachistic fool
Because you knew my love was cruel
You never listened when they said
Don’t let that girl go to your head
But like a play boy you said no
or*di*nary pain
This little girl mind you will blow
or*di*nary pain
But then I blew you out the box
or*di*nary pain
When I put my stuff on key and lock
or*di*nary pain
It makes me feel kind of sick
or*di*nary pain
To know love put you in a trick
or*di*nary pain
I knew our love would have to end
or*di*nary pain
The day I made it with your friend
or*di*nary pain
Giving your love to one unreal
or*di*nary pain
Like a big fool I know you feel
or*di*nary pain
But in this lovie-dovie game
or*di*nary pain
With all its joy there must be pain
or*di*nary pain
But now the time has surely come
or*di*nary pain
This game don’t seem like so much fun
or*di*nary pain
You’re cryin big corcodile tears
or*di*nary pain
Don’t match the ones I’ve cried for years
or*di*nary pain
When I was home wainting for you
or*di*nary pain
You were out somewhere doing the do
or*di*nary pain
You know I’d really like to stay
or*di*nary pain
But like you did I’ve go to play
or*di*nary pain
You’re dumb to think I’d let you be
or*di*nary pain
Scott free without some pain from me
or*di*nary pain
I heard your song and took a chance
or*di*nary pain
But to your music I can’t dance
or*di*nary pain
Go tell your story ‘sob-sad’
or*di*nary pain
About you blowin what you had
or*di*nary pain
Since one ain’t good enough for you
or*di*nary pain
Then do yourself see how you do
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER
***************
I was born in Lil’ Rock,
Had a childhood sweetheart,
We were always hand in hand.
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,
Suzy was in pig tails,
I know I loved her even then.
You know my papa disapproved it,
My mama boohooed it,
But I told them time and time again,
“Don’t you know I was made to love her,
Built a world all around her”
Yah! Hey, hey, hey.
She’s been my inspiration,
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years.
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly,
My life grew sweeter through the years.
I know that my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
That’s why we made it through the years.
I was made to love her,
Worship and adore her,
Hey, hey, hey.
All through thick and thin
Our love just won’t end,
‘Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!
My baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
And I know I ain’t going nowhere.
I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me,
I had the fever with each passing year.
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,
If this whole world crumbles,
By her side I’ll still be standing there.
‘Cause I was made to love her,
I was made to live for her, yeah!
Ah, I was made to love her,
Built my world all around her,
Hey, hey, hey.
Oo baby, I was made to please her,
You know Stevie ain’t gonna leave her, no,
Hey, hey, hey.
Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
Hey, hey, hey.
OO my baby loves me….
HOW WILL I KNOW
***************
Is the answer in his eyes?
Is the answer in her smile?
Or in the words that you first hear her say
Is it in the nick of time?
First impression in your mind
Do you know it all in just one day?
How will I know she loves me?
How will I know she cares?
It’s hard for true love to find you, find you
So easy to feel you’re there
How will I know she loves me?
I know all things in time
Well, I have no problem waiting, waiting
For true love forever mine
Is the answer in her glance?
The first time you’re holding hands
Or in the moment that feels oh so right
Is it in her tenderness?
Or the magic of his kiss
Or in the sweet love you make through the night
How will I know she loves me?
How will I know she cares?
It hard for true love to find you, find you
So easy to feel you’re there
How will I know she loves me?
I know all things in time
Well I have no problem waiting, just waiting
For true love one of a kind
For true love forever mine
LOOK AROUND
***************
We are idle strangers
Married to our dangers
Into space we go to change our ways
Flying to our heavens
We are all together
Into hell we chase the light of day
Look around and you’ll see
Ruins of the human history
Look around and you’ll see
Time is only floating in your mind
You will find
Searching for time
Empty is your mind
We are charmed by living
Dazzled into giving
All the waste we plan to ignore
Coldness is the virtue
Measured by the untrue
Love is used for something but what for?
Look around and you’ll see
Ruins of the human history
Look around and you’ll see
Time is only floating in your mind
You will find
Searching for time
Empty is your mind
Look around
