MS. & MR. LITTLE ONES
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
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
ORDINARY PAIN
***************
When by the phone
In vain you sit
You very soon in your mind realize that it’s not just
An ordinary pain in your heart
When you by chance
Go knock on her door
Walkin’ away you’re convinced that it’s much more
Than just an ordinary pain in your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain in your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
When you catch up
But she says goodbye
Hold back your tears and before you start to cry
Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart
Tell her you’re glad
It’s over in fact
Can she take with her the pain she brought you back
Takin that ordinary pain from your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain from your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
You’re just a masachistic fool
Because you knew my love was cruel
You never listened when they said
Don’t let that girl go to your head
But like a play boy you said no
or*di*nary pain
This little girl mind you will blow
or*di*nary pain
But then I blew you out the box
or*di*nary pain
When I put my stuff on key and lock
or*di*nary pain
It makes me feel kind of sick
or*di*nary pain
To know love put you in a trick
or*di*nary pain
I knew our love would have to end
or*di*nary pain
The day I made it with your friend
or*di*nary pain
Giving your love to one unreal
or*di*nary pain
Like a big fool I know you feel
or*di*nary pain
But in this lovie-dovie game
or*di*nary pain
With all its joy there must be pain
or*di*nary pain
But now the time has surely come
or*di*nary pain
This game don’t seem like so much fun
or*di*nary pain
You’re cryin big corcodile tears
or*di*nary pain
Don’t match the ones I’ve cried for years
or*di*nary pain
When I was home wainting for you
or*di*nary pain
You were out somewhere doing the do
or*di*nary pain
You know I’d really like to stay
or*di*nary pain
But like you did I’ve go to play
or*di*nary pain
You’re dumb to think I’d let you be
or*di*nary pain
Scott free without some pain from me
or*di*nary pain
I heard your song and took a chance
or*di*nary pain
But to your music I can’t dance
or*di*nary pain
Go tell your story ‘sob-sad’
or*di*nary pain
About you blowin what you had
or*di*nary pain
Since one ain’t good enough for you
or*di*nary pain
Then do yourself see how you do
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND
***************
How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the canon balls fly before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist before they’re allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

NEVER HAD A DREAM COME TRUE
***************
I never, never had a dream come true
In my every dream, I’m loved by you
And we’re free as the wind
And true love is no sin
Therefore, men are men, not machines
I never, never had a dream come true
Without you, the world out there is painted shades of blue
Since our roads never crossed
I work just to please the boss
Think I might as well get lost in my dreams
Do do do do do………
I never, never had a dream come true
Yes, I’m gonna dream about you baby my whole life through
Seems my folks are ashamed
Said I ain’t worth a thing
But I’m glad I’m chained to my dreams
Do do do do do……….
Keep on dreamin’
Sing along with me
Keep on dreamin’
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
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 take our wings and fly away
To the vision in our minds ?
