IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
And if you really love me won’t you tell me..
And if you really love me won’t you tell me..
And if you really love me won’t you tell me..
Then I won’t have to be
Playing around
You call my name
Oooh so sweet
To make your kiss incomplete
When your mood is clear
You quickly change your ways
Then you say I’m untrue
What am I supposed to do
Be a fool who sits alone waiting for you
But if you really love me won’t you tell me..
But if you really love me won’t you tell me..
And if you really love me won’t you tell me..
Then I won’t have to be
Playing around
I see the light of your smile
Calling me all the while
You are saying baby
It’s time to go…
First the feeling’s alright
Then it’s gone from sight
So I’m taking out this time to say
Oh if you really love me won’t you tell me..
Oh if you really love me won’t you tell me..
And if you really love me won’t you tell me..
Then I won’t have to be
Playing around no
Playing around no
Hey yeah
Goofin’ around no
Oh baby
Playing around no
Let me know how you feel baby
Hey oh baby
Playing around no
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
***************
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I’ve needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I’ll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it’s hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won’t desert me
I’m not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can’t take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
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
CAN I GET A WITNESS
***************
Ah ah listen everybody, specially you girls
Is it right to be left alone when the one you love is never home
I love too hard my friends sometimes say
But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain’t fair
Can I get a witness
I want a witness
Somebody
I want a witness
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep ’cause I haven’t seen my baby all week
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Took to find it out all night I been cryin’
But I believe a woman’s a man’s best friend
I’m gonna stick by hr till the very end
Well she causes so much misery how’s a gal supposed to be
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain’t right
Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
I want a witness
Somebody
Can I get a witness
Everybody knows especially you girls
That a love can be sad but my beloved’s twice as bad
Now you kids do all agree that ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness
I want a witness
Yeah, I want a witness
Somebody
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep ’cause I haven’t seen my baby all week
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it’s supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness…
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
YESTERME YESTERYOU YESTERDAY
***************
What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
I had a dream so did you life
Was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester folls and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but
The memory of yester love and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Sing with me
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
One more time…..
