DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Isolated junk yard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a state room death awaits
Persecute your own self-pride
Suffocate the new high
Ride the thorny mule that cries
“Dig your grave and step right in”
Like a judas pay the price
30 pieces for a ride
Here’s the fire take a chew
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
Shredded know-how give away
Species of the human race
Those funky winds of ups and downs
Hall of grit is known too well
Heaven still is your hell
Poison slowly slowly drowns
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer’s your only friend
Ain’t a soul go’n pity you
Hurdly over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don’t you wish you could reach ground?
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
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…
WEAKNESS
***************
Everytime I think our love is drifting apart
Something always throws it back together
And everytime I think I’ve found someone new for my heart
After one kiss my heart tells me never
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
Everytime I think your love has no more to give
You do something more to take me higher
And everytime I think that for someone else I could live
I’d be living love out as a liar
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
We keep thinking that our love won’t last beyond tomorrow
But our hearts say we’re gonna stay in love this way
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
GOLDEN LADY
***************
Looking in your eyes
Kind of heaven eyes
Closing both my eyes
Waiting for surprise
To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far
Cause I’m not afraid to try and go it
To know the love and the beauty never known before
I’ll leave it up to you to show it
And golden lady, golden lady
I’d like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I’d like to go there
Take me right away
Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance
Just to hold your hand
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that’s blooming
And it’s so clear to me that you’re a dream come true
There’s no way that I’ll be losing
And golden lady, golden lady
I’d like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I’d like to go there
Take me right away
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that’s blooming
And it’s so clear to me that you’re my dream come true
There is no way that I’ll be losing
Golden lady, golden lady
I’d like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I’d like to go there
SPIRITUAL WALKERS
***************
They knock on your door
You laugh in their face
They tell you it’s time to pray
They give you a book
And tell you to read
And point to the Judgment Day
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
They sit on a stump
You run from their sight
To not hear the holy word
They sing and they chant
They preach and they speak
In tongues you have never heard
But people say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Walk on …
On corners of streets
And airports of tents
They reach out for you to come in
They have no defense
Except inner sense
And knowing the Almighty Friend
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life : truth into your life
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Come on and shine that light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Even though when they knock on your door
You laugh in their face
You run from their sight
Not to hear the holy word
They have no defense
Except inner sense
Haven’t you
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
***************
Me and my heart took a
Vow from the start and a
Vow to my heart I never break
Seasons may come and the
Seasons may go but know
Through every time and space
My love will always stay forever and always
From the bottom of my heart, I love you
I can say these words to you without delay
If you’re wondering just how long I’ll love you
Try forever that’s how long I’ll feel this way
Me and my heart got a
Promise from the stars that they’d
Keep this love burning endlessly
People will come just as
People will go but know
Whatever life has in store
Through all eternity you will have my love for always
From the bottom of my heart, I love you
I can say these words to you without delay
If you’re wondering just how long I’ll love you
Try forever that’s how long I’ll feel this way
Yes, forever is how long my love will stay
Forever is a long, long time
But so what?
