DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I’ve cried so much,
Since you’ve been gone,
I guess I’m drowning in my own tears,
I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin’ wild
If you don’t think
You’ll be home soon
I guess I’ll drown in my own tears
I know it’s true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I’m so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don’t you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won’t
Be all alone
If you don’t think
You’ll be home soon
I guess I’ll
(drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don’t let me
(drown in my own tears)
When I’m in trouble, baby
(drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don’t let me
(drown in my own tears)
I guess I’ll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm.

Well now, oh Mary Ann
Well you sure look fine
Well, oh oh now
I could love you all the time
Well, now oh Mary Ann
I said baby, don’t ya know
Well now, oh oh baby
Don’t ya know
Don’t ya know baby
That I love you so
Oh yeah, Mary Ann
Gonna take you home tonight
Oh baby, yeah, yeah
Gonna take you home tonight
If you let me baby
I said I’ll make everything all right
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

SEND ONE YOUR LOVE
***************
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I’ve heard so many say that the days of romance are no more
And people falling in love is so old fashioned
But waiting are they the day they once let slip away
Hiding need to fulfill their heart’s desire for love’s passion
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal
And can only happen in make believe stories
But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see
For around us are miracles of love’s glory
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
DO LIKE YOU
***************
Show me how to do like you
If you say please
Please
Since age one Keita knew he had the answer
And it was that someday he’d be a dancer
And with help from his sis
Surely that boy would not miss
From being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhood
Late at night when he was supposed to be sleeping
You could hear the pitter patter of feet creeping
To where music would play
To his sister he would say
Before his father said hey boy get right back in that bed
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
– Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
– Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Once at school they put on a talent contest
To find out who could really boogy the best
But his mama said no
Keita’s much too young to go
But his sister said please let him go so the world can see
When they saw him they said he must be crazy
Look at him he ain’t nothing but a baby
But soon as he began
You knew the contest he would win
Because everyone in the audience began to cheer
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
– Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
– Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
– Can you rock can you rock
Show me how to do like you
Can you rock around the clock, can you rock
Show me how to do it
Ooh, you done broke Mama’s lamp
Uh, uh
Yes you did
No I didn’t
