LOOKIN’ FOR ANOTHER PURE LOVE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind,
I had no problems, never a problem in my life,
Never a worry on my mind
All my days before today were happy,
And secure until your phone call,
You were tellin’ me goodbye
Now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life
And I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life
Now the wheel of fate has turned,
I’m worried ’bout the new love you’ve discovered,
He is a problem in my life,
I have a problem on my mind
Things you cherish most in your life,
Can be taken if they’re left neglected,
Leavin’ a problem in your life
‘Cause now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life, ooh,
And now I’m lookin’ for another love,
And now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life, ooh,
I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin for another pure love in my life
THE CHRISTMAS SONG
***************
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard sleeping tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
and ev’ry Mother’s child is gonnna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although It’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
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
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR
***************
Isolated junk yard
Letting out the garbage
Eating through the core of life
Sweet fragrance irritates
In a state room death awaits
Persecute your own self-pride
Suffocate the new high
Ride the thorny mule that cries
“Dig your grave and step right in”
Like a judas pay the price
30 pieces for a ride
Here’s the fire take a chew
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
Shredded know-how give away
Species of the human race
Those funky winds of ups and downs
Hall of grit is known too well
Heaven still is your hell
Poison slowly slowly drowns
Let the devil step right in
Lucifer’s your only friend
Ain’t a soul go’n pity you
Hurdly over time to death
With open arms it waits I bet
Don’t you wish you could reach ground?
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time
Do yourself a favour
Educate your mind
Get yourself together
Hey there ain’t much time

SATURN
***************
Packing my bags-going away
To a place where the air is clean
On saturn
There’s no sense to sit and watch the people die
We don’t fight our wars the way you do
We put back all the things we use
On Saturn
There’s no sense to keep on doing such crimes
There’s no principles in what you say
No direction in the things you do
For your world is soon to come to a close
Through the ages all great men have taught
Truth and happiness just can’t be bought-or sold
Tell me why are you people so cold
I’m……
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don’t need cars cause we’ve learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
We have come here many times before
To find your strategy to peace is war
Killing helpless men, women and children
That don’t even know what they are dying for
We can’t trust you when you take a stand
With a cold expression on your face
Saying give us what we want or we’ll destroy
I’m……
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don’t need cars cause we’ve learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
