GOTTA HAVE YOU
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Never been too much for watching
Cause there’s too many things to view
And when eyes begin to wander
They more than likely never get through
But beyond my own temptation
I’m enticed by what I see
And I won’t feel satisfaction
Until she’s where I want her to be
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
I gotta make you my reality
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
Come on girl, make you my reality
Never been too much for talking
Cause there’s too many things to say
And by the time that I start speaking
The right moment has slipped away
But I must break this old tradition
And try to muster up the words
And though someone else may have said them
I’ll say them in way you’ve never heard
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
I’ve gotta make you my reality
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
Come on girl, make you my reality
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
Never been too much for touching
Cause there’s too many things to feel
Plus there’s too much disappointment
When you find out those feelings ain’t real
But here’s a time when inner senses
Are gonna have to shine the light
Cause I have overly committed
Myself in thinking that you’re alright
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
I gotta make you my reality
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
I gotta have you for me
You are a sight for sore eyes to see
Come on girl, make you my reality
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby
CRYIN’ THROUGH THE NIGHT
***************
Yes I am cryin’
I got the blues and I don’t know why
Yes I am cryin’
I got the blues, I’m so dissatisfied
‘Cause I’ve been cryin’ through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin’ through the night
Hear me cryin’ through the night
I am lonely, downhearted and sad
‘Cause I’ve lost the best woman that I ever had
To a friend of mine
Just can’t figure out how it could be
That somebody like him could take her away from me
And it’s on my mind
Nearly all the time
Yes I am cryin’
I got the blues and I don’t know why
Yes I am cryin’
I got the blues, I’m so dissatisfied
‘Cause I’ve been cryin’ through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin’ through the night
Hear me cryin’ through the night
Now I know just how best friends can be
‘Cause he made sure you knew your best was with me
And it’s on my mind
Here’s a lesson much greater that wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
And your smiling eyes
Won’t be cryin’ like mine
Yes I’m cryin’
I got the blues and I don’t know why
Yes I’m cryin’
I got the blues, I’m so dissatisfied
‘Cause I’ve been cryin’ through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin’ through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin’ through the night
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I’m like a weeping willow
From cryin’ through the night
Oh, Oh, yeah
Hear me cryin’, cryin’, I’m cryin’, cryin’
I’m cryin’ baby, cryin’ baby yeah
Even a fool can tell
That so many tears sho’ enough done fell
And pretty soon before you know
I’ll have enough tears to fill a water well
Hear me cryin’ through the night
Oh yeah, cryin’ through the night
And it’s on my mind
Nearly all the time
Yes I’m cryin’
I got the blues and I don’t know why
Yes I’m cryin’
I got the blues, I’m so dissatisfied
‘Cause I’ve been cryin’ through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin’ through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin’ through the night
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I’m weeping like a weeping willow
Oh, Oh, cryin’ tears, cryin’ tears
Through the night
CASH IN YOUR FACE
***************
You just could not know how long we tried
To see how this building looks inside
This must be a lucky day for me
Because the sign says there’s a vacancy
Look I know you came a long way
But you made it just too late
So we had to give it to somebody else
Well I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago
And you told me that it was cool
I graduated from Howard U.
My job is paying good money too
And if you check on my resume
You’ll find they all wanted me to stay
Well I can’t take the time out
To check your credit card
‘Cause the computer just broke down today
Well I’ll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview
But I know what you’re gonna say
I know what your bottomline is
You might have the cash but you
Can…not cash in your face
We don’t want you living in here
Say you might have the cash but you
Can…not cash in your face
We don’t want your kind living in here
Too-oo, Too-oo too bad,
Too-oo, too-oo too sad
Our first child is due here any day
That’s why we’re desperate for a place to stay
The location is so perfect too
So please try to do what you can do
Well in this apartment complex no children are allowed
And if you told me that I could have saved you alot of time
Well I thought the Bill was passed that said you could not discriminate
But I know some excuse you’ll find
Because your bottom line is
You might have the cash but you
Can…not cash in your face
We don’t want you living in here
Say you might have the cash but you
Can…not cash in your face
We don’t want your kind living in here
Aye, you might be a great doctor
You might be a great lawyer
You might possess the key to the city
Or maybe a politician
You might have the cash but you
Can…not cash in your face
We don’t want you living in here
Say you might have the cash but you
Can…not cash in your face
We don’t want your kind living in here
IF SHE BREAKS YOUR HEART
***************
My love is gone with yesterday, my love is gone
with yesterday
We had a love for all seasons
At least that’s how it used to be
There was no time, space, or reason
More special to us than we
My love continued to flourish
As a flower blooms in spring
Then you tried to play love for silly
But the loser is the fool who doesn’t play
love by the rules
If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you’re lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday, my love is gone
with yesterday
There was a time when forever
Was common-place for me and you
Laughing, loving, sharing, caring
Seemed to be made just for us two
But I kept on building the dream world
That I thought was you and I
Sorry, I’m sadly mistaken
Cause our castle in the sky
Has turned into a mere goodbye
Well if she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Cause I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you’re lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Cause the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
My love is gone away with yesterday, my love is gone
with yesterday
IN YOUR CORNER
***************
I hear tell there’s big fun tonight
On the corner of Main and Dog-Meat-Bite
Friday midnights would not be right
Without Redd’s hot party and a nasty fight
But I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
You can’t renege cause it’s going to be alive
Fine women, lots of liquor and stuff for your mind
Now where we’re going they don’t like your kind
But they’ll cool out when you tell them you’re a friend of mine
‘Cause I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
You can’t tell your pa and mama
Where we’re going going till after we’ve been there
‘Cause that might make their poor heads worry
And worrying can cause grey hair
And one thing might lead to another
And if there’e any trouble they’ll blame it on me
I think we just might have two to go
The pretty looking over here from the middle of the floor
We’ll make a b-line to Hotel La Sin
Where you’ll do the talking to get us in
And I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
We shoulda been long gone ’cause this place is hot
‘Cause in the corner there are two brothers that are undercover cops
If they stop us for questionning mum is the word
‘Cause a question not answered is an answer not heard
And I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
I’ll be in your corner
I’ll be in your corner, if they do
You can’t tell your pa and mama
Where we’re going going till after we’ve been there
‘Cause that might make their poor heads worry
And worrying can cause grey hair
And one thing might lead to another
And if there’s any trouble they’ll blame it on me
MY LOVE IS ON FIRE
***************
Look at how they stop and stare
As if they’ve never seen a heart in love
And though I see them I don’t care
Cuz, I’m too busy thinking bout our love
Thinking about that each and every morning
I wake up to that love glow in your eyes
And though it seems I’m hooked on this fixation
I will not stop my daydreaming
Until my nights are true with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I’m burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
Listen at me call your name
As if you’re witness to my every word
And though it seems sometimes insane
Something within me tells me they’ll be heard
So I wait so patiently the moment
When my love fantasies will come to life
And all I need from you is confirmation
Then I’ll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I’m burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
On flute, Hubert Laws
And all I need from you is confirmation
Then I’ll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I’m burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
Ooh fire
Ooh fire Ooh fire
I want to feel your love
Feel your love mixed with mine
Can’t cha feel the fire burning?
Can’t cha feel the pulsation of my heart?
Can’t cha feel the fire burning?
Yeah yeah, mixed with mine
