I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Honey you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you need me a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, I love you too much
When you say those words of love to me
It makes me feel so good inside
But when the sunshine comes and you must leave
It only leaves me with my own foolish pride
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Oh, when you say those words of love to me
I know you know you make me feel so good inside
But if by break of day you never can stay
There must be something in our love that I don’t know about that you
Feel you’ve got to hide
Baby, baby, you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Hey I love you, I love you, I love, I love you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you, I need you, I love, I love you
Feel me, feel me, feel me, feel me, love me, love me
I love you baby, don’t let nobody tell you that I don’t love you baby
Oh oh I love you
Baby, have you ever wished that forever nighttime could last
Don’t leave my heart a broken glass baby, oh oh
Sometimes I feel like I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Maybe three much
Yeah, I love you
You make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, I love you too much
SAME OLD STORY
***************
Born to open for
Mankind nature’s door
A life known by a few
And those who knew that shared
Their knowledge fewer cared
About what plants could do
For most felt it was mad to conceive
That plants thought, felt, and moved quite like we
But with instruments Bose would devise
Would take Science itself by a surprise, so
On we go to where who knows
To a place where there’s still non-believers
What will it take for heaven sakes
For those who find what’s real too hard to believe in
It’s that same old story again.
Born of slaves who died
Too soon to realize
The need his life would be
Selflessy he gave
His wisdom to a way
Where first no minds would see
He said if farm land was to be rich
We must plant crops to replenish it
But it took him persuasion and tests
To convince them Canver’s way was best, so
On we go to where who knows
To a place where there’s still non-believers
What will it take for heaven sakes
For those who find what’s real too hard to believe in
It’s that same old story again.
YOU MET YOUR MATCH
***************
Hey you were good at playing the fox girl
When I was good you threw me a bone
But I ain’t playing hot for nobody
Girl just you wait ’til I get you home
I’ll show you the way to love somebody
Like you’ve never ever been shown before
Cause my love light’s burning
My whole life’s yearning for you
Hey Baby you were playing the part with Jimmy and Freddie
You tried to make me look like a fool
But I took care of Cindy and Susie
Just to show you I can be twice as cool Baby
If you want to learn how to love me
I’ll teach you in my own private school
Cause my love love lights burning
My whole life’s yearning for you
You met you your match
When you play with my affection
You met you your match
When you tried to make me walk the line
When you decided you would hurt me
That’s when your grape feel off the vine
Your mama told me that I better be mellow
She said you’re just a baby maybe too green
I told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and Victor
They know better
Mama shake off that dream
I told her that you were really cooking
My love is burning for a turn at the steam
Hey, cause
My love light’s burning
My whole life’s yearning for you
You met your match
When you told me you loved me
You met your match
When you told me that you wouldn’t let go
You met your match
Baby
You met your match
Baby
You met your match in me..
PASTIME PARADISE
***************
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been wasting most their lives
Glorifying days long gone behind
They’ve been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Dissipation
Race Relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation…….to the evils of the world
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrow’s gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the Savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation of Race Relations
Consolation
Integration
Verification of Revelations
Acclamation
World Salvation
Vibrations
Simulation
Confirmation…….to the peace of the world
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
We’ve been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Let’s start living our lives
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyones lives
Living in a pastime paradise
MY EYES DON’T CRY
***************
I was a lonely no one
Living in a vacuum as life’s debris
Victimized as one whose self deprivation
Had made for my outer insecurity
I was a he ain’t nothin’
Living in the slums of love’s misery
Starving from the lack of sweet affection
‘Til you came to rescue me
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I was a Mr. Lonely
Seeing only darkness in the bright of day
Blind even though my eyes were wide opened
But then your love sunshined my way
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
My life was without reason
Sinking in a hell that had no space or time
Falling to the burning pit of pain and sorrow
Until you saved this life of mine
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
My nights are not lonely no more
My tears don’t flow no more
My eyes don’t cry, my eyes don’t cry, my eyes don’t cry no more
A TIME TO LOVE (FEAT. INDIA ARIE)
***************
We have time for racism
We have time for criticism
Held bondage by our ism’s
When will there be a time to love
We make time to debate religion
Passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgements
When will there be a time to love
At this point in history we have a choice to make
To either walk a path of love
Or be crippled by our hate
We have time to cause pollution
We have time to cause confusion
All wrapped up in our own illusions
When will there be a time to love
We make time to conquer nations
Time for oil exploration
Hatred, violence and terrorism
When will there be a time to love
At this moment in time
We have a choice to make
Father God is watching
While we cause mother earth so much pain
It’s such a shame
Not enough money for
The young, the old and the poor
But for war there is always more
When will there be a time to love
We make time for paying taxes
Or paying bills and buying status
But we will pay the consequences
If we don’t make the time to love
Now’s the time to pay attention
Yes now is the time… to love…
A time love… Love…
A time to Love
Please, please won’t you tell me
When will there be a time to love…
