MY EYES DON’T CRY
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
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
HOLD ME
***************
Hold me darling hold me
And I’ll always be your, be your guy
Closer, baby come closer
Let me be the one that loves and be by your side
Why should you be lonely when I need you so
Give my arms a chance I know I’ll never let go
So hold me, baby hold me
Say you’ll never let me go
Why should you be lonely when I need you so
Give my arms a chance I know I’ll never let go
So hold me, baby hold me
Say you’ll never let me go
You know I love you so
I’ll never-never let you go
I’ll never let you go
Oh baby-baby, hold me
Why should we be apart
I’ll never-never let you go
QUEEN IN THE BLACK
***************
Excuse me please your majesty
I chance this moment nervously
To share with you a fantasy
That I have lived inside of me
And it is so pretty
And it is so fine
Its the kind you’d love to last you
Until the end of time
We’ve talked of love, we’ve talked of life
And what would make the world so nice
We’ve walked the sand by lover’s sea
I’ve held your body close to me
And it is so pretty
How I’d love to know
For if I had a chance to hold you
I’d never let you go
You’re my queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that’s sweet as candy
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
There’s not a day that passes by
That I don’t have you on my mind
If this ain’t love I have inside
Then my heart’s telling me a lie
Cause it feels so special
And it feels so right
And if I could I know I’d love you
For the rest of my life
You’re my queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that’s sweet as candy
Queen in the black
With your soft and sexy lips, babe
Queen in the black
I love the way you move your body
Queen in the black
You know you are nothing less than royalty
Queen in the black
Oh, I’ll place you on a throne, girl
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that’s sweet as candy
Queen in the black
With your valentine smile, girl
Queen in the black
With your soft and sexy lips, babe
Queen in the black
Love the way you move your body
Queen in the black
You know you are nothing less than royalty
Queen in the black
You know I’ll place you on a throne, girl
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
With your valentine smile, girl
Queen in the black
With your soft and sexy lips, babe
Queen in the black
Love the way you move your body

MAYBE YOUR BABY
***************
I’m feelin’ down and some kind of lonely,
Cause’ my baby done left me here,
Heart’s blazing like a five alarm fire
And I don’t even give a care
I feel like the world is turnin’ on me,
My dreams turnin’ to ashes right in front of my face,
And I’m gettin’ kind of worried,
And I feel so out of place,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
. . I feel like cryin’, yeh, yeh
Maybe baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
In the mornin’ when I’ve got heartache,
I can’t call up the doctor for help,
Cause’ the only person that could ever do me any good,
Is steppin’ out with my best friend
I feel like I’m slippin’ deeper,
Slippin’ deeper into myself,
And I can’t take it,
This stuff is scarin’ me to death
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Kinda makin’ me worried,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Little Sally Walker, sittin’ in a saucer,
Checkin’ out the guys that are passing by
…by, by, by, by…
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Not includin’ future plans,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Maybe my baby done made some other plans,
Maybe my baby done made another plan
with another man.
Your baby, your baby, stupid baby, your baby,
That you put so trust so much trust in your baby,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
COME LET ME MAKE YOUR LOVE COME DOWN
***************
There’s a girl in my life about 4’10”
She’s the one who brings me morning joy
And brings me joy when my day ends
She says my life will never have no problems
That her love cannot fix
And she proves her worth true
Every time she goes into her love bag of tricks
She’s got everything I want
Everything I need
And if she ain’t got it
She knows how to find the remedy
And she tells me
Come let me make your love come down
She says you’ll never worry in your life
As long as you come and let me
Make your love come down
I call her Miss Satisfaction
Cause she keeps me satisfied
She gets my automatic smile
When she whispers Steveland, I love you, I love you,
I love you
Such a lovely world is my life
Since that girl has come inside
And everyday that I live
I’m gonna do my best to keep her satisfied
Our love will never have no problem
That the both of us can’t fix
Cause like glue to a stamp
Like gum on a shoe
She and I are going to stick
She’s got everything I want
Everything I need
And if she ain’t got it
She knows how to find the remedy
And she tells me
Come let me make your love come down
SYLVIA
***************
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
Mmm, hmm Sylvia
You know you’re getting to me now
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Sylvia
You gently touched my heart somehow
Yesterday you made me happy as a child at play
Just like the summer sun that warms my heart
And move on, now you are gone
Whoa, oh, oh, Sylvia
You’re everything that I adore
That sweet song, that caught a spark in me more
Tenderly that’s how you whisper that you loved me
As if a raindrop kissed my ear and disappeared, now you are gone
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
You know I love my little Sylvia
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
And yesterday I feel in love with you all the way
Tenderly you lit a spark in my heart, now you are gone
Mmm, hmm, Sylvia
I gently miss Sylvia
I’m crazy ’bout ya, Sylvia
You know I love my little Sylvia
