DANCING TO THE RHYTHM
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Lonely, my life used to be lonely
Lonely as the single lonely number one
Lonely like a lonely sun
With not even one iota to shine upon
Crying, deep inside I was crying
Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed
Carrying with it my lonely soul
With not even a clue of who,
where or what I would become
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
do with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and
you in my, my, my, my li-li-life
I’m dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your love
Money, oh how did I have money
Enough to last me from the start til the end of time
With some more to leave behind
And yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress
I can, feel the very presence of your love here
Though I’ve never seen the pleasure of your smile
No, I’ve never touched your hand
And yet you’ve given me eternal happiness
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
do with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my,
my, my, my li-li-life
I’m dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should do
with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let God’s light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you
in my, my, my, my li-li-life
I’m dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love
SATURN
***************
Packing my bags-going away
To a place where the air is clean
On saturn
There’s no sense to sit and watch the people die
We don’t fight our wars the way you do
We put back all the things we use
On Saturn
There’s no sense to keep on doing such crimes
There’s no principles in what you say
No direction in the things you do
For your world is soon to come to a close
Through the ages all great men have taught
Truth and happiness just can’t be bought-or sold
Tell me why are you people so cold
I’m……
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don’t need cars cause we’ve learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
We have come here many times before
To find your strategy to peace is war
Killing helpless men, women and children
That don’t even know what they are dying for
We can’t trust you when you take a stand
With a cold expression on your face
Saying give us what we want or we’ll destroy
I’m……
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don’t need cars cause we’ve learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
LOOKIN’ FOR ANOTHER PURE LOVE
***************
Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind,
I had no problems, never a problem in my life,
Never a worry on my mind
All my days before today were happy,
And secure until your phone call,
You were tellin’ me goodbye
Now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life
And I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life
Now the wheel of fate has turned,
I’m worried ’bout the new love you’ve discovered,
He is a problem in my life,
I have a problem on my mind
Things you cherish most in your life,
Can be taken if they’re left neglected,
Leavin’ a problem in your life
‘Cause now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life, ooh,
And now I’m lookin’ for another love,
And now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life, ooh,
I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin for another pure love in my life
I PITY THE FOOL
***************
I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
That falls in love with you
And expects you to be true
Oh I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you’re wondering
What they’re doing
They’re just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you’re wondering
What they’re doing
They’re just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you’re wondering
What they’re doing
They’re just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
That falls in love with you
And expects you to be true
Oh I pity the fool…
AS IF YOU READ MY MIND
***************
Close your eyes ‘til the morning
Close your eyes ‘til the early dew
Get inside what you’ve been missing
Are the very first words that I heard coming from you
Take a chance on the secret
That you hide for beneath your dreams
Use your wildest imagination
You just tell me what it is and I will make it be
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
Let’s get high on the happy
With a toast to you and me
Love is here just for the giving
And between us we’ve got all the love we’ll ever need
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
KNOCKS ME OFF MY FEETS
***************
I see us in the park
Strolling the summer days of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind felt even without being said
I don’t want to bore you with my trouble
But there’s sumptin’bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
There’s supmtin’bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
Knocks me off my feet
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
More and more
We lay beneath the stars
Under a lovers tree that’s seen through the eyes of my mind
I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you that only our two hearts can find
But I don’t want to bore you with my trouble
But there’s sumptin’bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
There’s sumptin’bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
Knocks me off my feet
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
Darling I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
Darling I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
