I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
I was born in Lil’ Rock,
Had a childhood sweetheart,
We were always hand in hand.
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,
Suzy was in pig tails,
I know I loved her even then.
You know my papa disapproved it,
My mama boohooed it,
But I told them time and time again,
“Don’t you know I was made to love her,
Built a world all around her”
Yah! Hey, hey, hey.
She’s been my inspiration,
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years.
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly,
My life grew sweeter through the years.
I know that my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
That’s why we made it through the years.
I was made to love her,
Worship and adore her,
Hey, hey, hey.
All through thick and thin
Our love just won’t end,
‘Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!
My baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
And I know I ain’t going nowhere.
I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me,
I had the fever with each passing year.
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,
If this whole world crumbles,
By her side I’ll still be standing there.
‘Cause I was made to love her,
I was made to live for her, yeah!
Ah, I was made to love her,
Built my world all around her,
Hey, hey, hey.
Oo baby, I was made to please her,
You know Stevie ain’t gonna leave her, no,
Hey, hey, hey.
Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
Hey, hey, hey.
OO my baby loves me….
EACH OTHER’S THROAT
***************
We are supposed to be sisters and brothers
But all we do is constantly dog one another
We are supposed to act as each other’s cover
But we keep at each other’s throat
Each other’s throat
Each other’s throat
Yo, it ain’t no joke
We’re at each other’s throat – Aowl, Aowl
We are supposed to spread love and not evil
But we’ve been acting more like heathens than people
Treating our fellow-man far worse than illegal
Cause we keep at each other’s throat
Each other’s throat
Each other’s throat
Yo, it ain’t no joke
We’re at each other’s throat – Aowl, Aowl
Ut oh, 11 o’clock pm and here’s the news
Another fatality caused by a family feud
Charged, tried, sentenced by the jury of a brother’s gun
Made sister’s fiancee’s wedding never to be sung
He didn’t like the way he treated the girl
So the boy played God, pow, he ended his world
He made a plea for temporary insanity
But left his sister insane permanently
This ain’t new, this stuff happens everyday
Somebody doesn’t like someone so they blow them away
Too fast for reason, too quick to negotiate
Regret and sorrow happens a split second too late
Jealousy for power, greed for possession
Selfishness so you give someone a faked out impression
Speaking of which I’m truly not impressed
So if seeing is believin’- I don’t wanna see the mess
Heartless are we on the straight with no chaser
As if for negativity we got the vapors
Know as I love me so I do love my neighbor
Cause we are too busy at each other’s throat
Each other’s throat
Each other’s throat
Yo, it ain’t no joke
We’re at each other’s throat -Aowl, Aowl
EBONY EYES
***************
She’s a Miss Beautiful Supreme
A girl that other wish that they could be
If there’s seven wonders of the world
Then I know she’s gotta be number one
She’s a girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
She’s the sunflower of nature’s seeds
A girl that some men only find in their dreams
When she smiles it seems the stars all know
Cause one by one they start to light up the sky
She’s a girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
A girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
When she starts talking soft and sweet
Like birds of spring her words all seem to sing
With a rhythm that is made of love
And the happiness that she only brings
She’s a girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
A girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
Yeah, yea, yea
…….yeah
Pretty black beauty
Yeah, yea yeah
Yea, yea, yeah, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah
She’s a girl that can’t be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She’s a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony ey—es
Ebony ey–es
Ebony ey–es
Ebony ey–es
Ebony eyes
VISIONS
***************
People hand in hand
Have I lived to see the milk and honey land ?
Where hate’s a dream and love forever stands
Or is this a vision in my mind ?
The law was never passed
But somehow all men feel they’re truly free at last
Have we really gone this far through space and time
Or is this a vision in my mind ?
I’m not one who makes believe
I know that leaves are green
They only change to brown when autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Today’s not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what I’d like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to find our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind ?
I’m not one who makes believes

They only change to brown when autumn comes around

Today’s not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what I’d like to know

Or do we have to take our wings and fly away
To the vision in our minds ?
CHEMICAL LOVE
***************
People goin’ round
Tellin’ others they are square
Around and round in circles
Is a ride that goes somewhere
All you need to fly
Is a heart dying to try
A chemical love
It’s a chemical love
Ain’t nothin to it
Gettin’ cash when you are broke
Doin’ lots of time
Is worth a little snort of coke
Infected needles
Can aid you in no time
Through chemical love
You’ve got a chemical love
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You’ve got a chemical jones
You’ve got a chemical love
Yeah, a chemical love
You’ve got chemical love
Some people find themselves hooked on the
weirdest things
That have nothing to do with living
God’s gift to us is our life what’s ours to him
If it’s not our love, then nothing’s given, given
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You’ve got a chemical jones
For a chemical love
Yes it’s true
The best things in life are free
Not material
Chemical or physically
Try it for yourself
You’ll get a guaranteed high
From spiritual love, natural miracle drug
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You’ve got a chemical jones
You’ve got a chemical love
You’ve got a chemical love
For a chemical drug
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You need a spiritual jones
For that spiritual love
I’m talking to you
We all could do with spiritual jones
For some spiritual love
FOR YOUR LOVE
***************
All the gold in the world
Is nothing to possess
If all the things that it can bring
Can’t add up to one ounce of your happiness
And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I’ll be right there
A diamond that shines
Like a star in the sky
Is nothing to behold
For minuscule is any light
If it can’t like you brighten up my soul
And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I’ll be right there
I could have never fathomed this
Such joy , love and tenderness
That you give to me
For the love I feel inside
It’s so wonderful I can’t hide
And I glow, I glow
With just the thought of you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I’ll be right there
