LAND OF LA LA
By
Stevie Wonder

***************

You were brought up in a small town
Where everyone greeted with a morning smile
I mean the place was so free from crime
You could leave your front door open
And if your eyes were drawn from a lack of food
Or your pockets were short on cash
There was always someone close at hand
That you could always run to

You could have been a doctor
And you could have been a nurse
But these things weren’t good enough for you
So you decided to pack up all you own
And get a one-way ticket there
To a place where all the successful people went
In order for them to do

I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, land of la la
L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, the land of la la

You get off the bus, pick up a paper
And look through the classified
So that you might find a place
Suitable for you to move into
Then you turn around to pick up the duffle bag
That you brought along
But much to your surprise you find
Your bag has taken off walking

You dig in your wallet
To get your last dime
But then recall you just spent your last dime on the newspaper
You’re much too prideful
But pride has no defense
When all you’ve got in your possession
Is the wallet in your hands

I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I’m a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
Remember only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la

L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, living in the land of la la

You might get everything you want
But not want everything you get
Being in la la land is like nowhere else
Living in the land, one hell of a land, a land full of lost angels
Movie stars and great big cars and Perrier and fun all day
And that’s enough to make anybody go wild
In the land of la la
He’s a big boy now, she’s a strong girl
But only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la

SEEMS SO LONG

***************

Lady love and lady cared
but lady went away,
And left me all alone to suffer.

And now I feel it’s not fair
for me to fall in love
The truth is the real me you must uncover.

Seems so long, since I’ve heard the sound
It’s been so long, since I’ve trusted in someone else,
Had to see it all for myself,
It’s been so long, that the world seems cold,
But I think it’s time in my life to find myself again.

Lady loved and lady stayed,
Until she was too pleased
She knew I wouldn’t leave for her to suffer.
I’d never make her suffer.

Now I believe you’re just like me,
In that you understand,
And want me for your man to always love me.

You can believe it’s seems so long, since I’ve touched a wanting hand
Oh, it seems so long, since I’ve trusted in someone else,
Had to see this world for myself,
And it’s been so long that the world seems cold,
Now I think I’ve found someone to make me trust in someone again.

I believe that I can trust in you.

RESPECT

***************

What you want, baby, I got.
What you need, you know I got it.
All I askin’ is for a little respect
When you come home, baby.
When you come home,
Respect.

I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you gone,
I ain’t gonna do you wrong ’cause I don’t wanna.
All I askin’ is for a little respect
When you come home, baby.
When you come home,
Respect.

I’m out to give you all my money
But all I’m askin in return, honey,
Is to give me my proper respect
When you get home, yeah baby,
When you get home.
Ooh, your kisses sweeter than honey
But guess what, so here’s my money.
All I want you to do for me is give me some here
When you get home, yeah baby,
When you get home.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
Find out what it means to me.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
Hey Boy, T-C-B.
A little respect …

AS IF YOU READ MY MIND

***************

Close your eyes ‘til the morning
Close your eyes ‘til the early dew
Get inside what you’ve been missing
Are the very first words that I heard coming from you

Take a chance on the secret
That you hide for beneath your dreams
Use your wildest imagination
You just tell me what it is and I will make it be

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

Let’s get high on the happy
With a toast to you and me
Love is here just for the giving
And between us we’ve got all the love we’ll ever need

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

AI NO, SONO

***************

There is a garden
Where every heart can
Share in the joy of giving

It like no other
Has love to cover
Bearing no price on living

Quietty listen and you might hear them singing their lullaby
Calling for you to join in their love filled garden

Kibo-ni afure
ikiru yorokobi
Shiawase ni michi te
Ai no rakuen
Subete no kokoro ga
Ai o wakachiau
Shizuka ni mimi katamuke yo
Ai no komori uta
Kimi sasoi yobikakenu
Ai no sono

MS. & MR. LITTLE ONES

***************

What is that that you’re looking through
a pornographic magazine?
When I bet you don’t even know how to
spell the word
And you say you don’t leave home unless
you’re strapped
With your uzi sub machine
When you’ve just barely come into this world
Well, if a child’s ways and actions
Reflect what they hear and see
Guess the only ones to blame are you and me

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Look what’s happened to our world
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
We’re so sorry
The only chance for a better one
Is up to you and he
Please! Forgive us for what we’ve done
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

What kind of name is that you’re calling her
I’ve heard that word before
But I don’t think any parent would give their
daughter a name so low
And about this extra paraphernalia
You say you’re carrying to get high

That won’t take you anywhere you want to go
Well, you don’t have to listen
Cause it’s here for you to see
So many burnt out lives trapped in their misery

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Look what’s happened to our world
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
We’re so sorry
The only chance for a better one
Is up to you and he
Please! Forgive us for what we’ve done
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Oh, I could rattle on about the good old days
And how life used to be
And even inwardly relive them vividly
But the best advice I can give to you
Is that we only go around one time
Treat each day like this is it
And give it the best you can

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Look what’s happened to our world
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
We’re so sorry
The only chance for a better one
Is up to you and he
Please! Forgive us for what we’ve done
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Look what’s happened to our world
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
We’re so sorry
There’s so much we should and should
have never done
That’s why we’re beggin’ on our knees
Please! Forgive us for what we’ve done
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
