IT AIN’T NO USE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Um um um um
Um um um um
There ain’t no reason for us sittin’ down
To try to talk our problems out
‘Cause we know the truth,
It ain’t no use each other we must do without.
There ain’t no reason tryin’ to force a smile
When pain is really in its place
‘Cause we know the truth,
It ain’t no use let’s part before we lose love’s trace.
(We’ve got to say)
Wow oh oh ooh
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh oh ooh
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh ooh oh ooh wow oh ooh
Wow oh oh oh ooh
As I look back I’m really try’n to see
Just what it was that made us spark
‘Cause the fire’s out
It leaves no doubt, the flame’s not burning in our hearts.
We still are young and both of us have time
To find our winter love in spring
Yes we know the truth
It ain’t no use, we’re not each other’s ev’rything.
(We always must say bye)
Wow oh oh ooh yeah
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh oh ooh yeah
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh ooh oh ooh wow oh ooh
Wow oh oh oh ooh
(Hate to say goodbye)
Wow oh oh ooh yeah
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh oh ooh yeah
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh ooh oh ooh wow oh ooh
Wow oh oh oh ooh
(Why we say bye)
Wow oh oh ooh
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
The trill is gone babe, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
I tried my best to make it work
(Wow oh oh oh ooh)
But it seems that we can’t get it together, yeah,
(Wow oh ooh)
We’ve got to run in the world
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Wow oh oh oh ooh
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Seems that we just don’t want tot do it
(Wow oh ooh oh ooh)
I guess we run out of fluid.
(Wow oh ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah wonderful baby, baby, baby
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Don’t go, take me baby, don’t go baby
(Bye bye bye bye bye)
Ain’t no use ’cause we done run out of juice
(Wow oh oh oh ooh)
(Wow oh ooh)
So long baby bye bye baby.
RAIN YOUR LOVE DOWN
***************
Such a lovely world was made for you and me
Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell, hear, and see
But one glance from outside looking at our world state
Clearly displays we don’t appreciate it at all
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Such ability inside you and me
Made to do anything and be all we can be
But one bird’s eye view at us does show, oh it shows
That against God’s Plan we’ve let it go, oh no
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away
You’d think the signs would make a difference,
Oh, make a difference
You’d think fire next time instead of rain
Would cause us to make a change
The world has gone insane
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away, let it rain
Rain your love down let it pour on us, please
Cleansing us from hunger, hate, war, and greed
Rain your love down, won’t you let it start over again
So we can live up to your Master Plan
Rain your love down, oh won’t you let it start
Wash the wicked minds and the…
I know they’re sick, you know they’re sick at heart, yeah
Rain your love down won’t you let it rain
Rid this world of drugs, disease, crime, and pain
Clear our spirits give our minds new software
With your lesson on honor, respect, trust, and care
Rain your love down I beg for human sake
For only you can get us out of this state
Rain your love down on all mankind
Cause we are out of order and so out of line
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
TOMORROW ROBINS WILL SING
***************
Now every ting is lovely
So don’t put yu trust inna false prophecy
Dis a de Edley Shine & Stevie
You might wonder
Stand firm to all those who feel concern
Ca when you can’t see the light
You must see the Robins in flight
Life is just a matter of time or space
So all those who have to face sorrow
Shall only have to wait till tomorrow
Big tings a guan dis year
So mek we drop inna gear
Come cross missa Stevie Wonder
Watch it!
Now where do I start to make the point that I’ll be making
To most efficiently use your time that I’ll be taking
With the clear understanding that every ticking second is precious to us all
But if you let me bend your ear and listen up you will hear
Not just what I say, but every word that I am saying
You wake in the morning from a dream with spirits dope hype
Though you real life condition is far from being alright
Your love has wronged you, your money’s gone, you’ve lost your home and everything you own
But before you do something major extreme
I’ve got one simple thing for you to take along with you, as you go on your lonely way
Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing
Tomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skies
So dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly
You borrow a dime to call up a friend that you could rely on
They put the phone down, you hear in the background “tell him I’m not home”
Your face is broken, your throat is chokin, you hang up the phone in disbelief
And to make matters worse
You can remember you were the first and only one to come to him when lonely was his everyday
But if what you did came from your heart and not expecting
Then you should not waste one heart beat on any regretting
The saying’s older than old yet true for today as when it was made to be told
As you saw so shall you reap
And if you’ve treated life sweet
Your blessing’s been ordained and already on its way
Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing
Tomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skies
So dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly
Today is the tomorrow you were so worried about
Looking over your yesterday
The clouds are gone and the sun is out
And everything has worked out irie okay
Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing
Tomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skies
So dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly
Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing

ISN’T SHE LOVELY
***************
Isn’t she lovely
Isn’t she wonderful
Isn’t she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we’d be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Isn’t she pretty
Truly the angel’s best
Boy, I’m so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can’t believe what God has done
Through us he’s given life to one
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Isn’t she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That’s so very lovely made from love
