ONE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
One little Christmas tree was standing alone
Waiting for someone to come by
One little Christmas tree that never had grown
Cried as he looked up to the sky
Oh please Mr Father tree, the tallest of all
I’m so afraid and alone
Could one little Christmas tree so tiny and small
Light up someone’s home ’cause
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little child can find a toy
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little heart can find some joy
One little angel who was riding a star
Cried as she looked down at the tree
Oh please Mr Father tree wherever you are
May I give him the star you gave to me
Then in the heavens came a voice from afar
A voice that was heard throughout the world
Go down little angel girl and give him your star
Tonight he’ll light the world ’cause
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see you on Christmas Day
SEND ONE YOUR LOVE
***************
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I’ve heard so many say that the days of romance are no more
And people falling in love is so old fashioned
But waiting are they the day they once let slip away
Hiding need to fulfill their heart’s desire for love’s passion
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal
And can only happen in make believe stories
But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see
For around us are miracles of love’s glory
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
IF IT’S MAGIC
***************
If it’s magic…
Then why can’t it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poets in this rhyme
Like the galaxies in time
If it’s pleasing…
Then why can’t it be never leaving
Like the day that never fails
Like on seashores there are shells
Like the time that always tells
It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst
So…
If it’s special
Then with it why aren’t we as careful
As making sure we dress in style
Posing pictures with a smile
Keeping danger from a child
It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst
So…
If it’s magic…
Why can’t we make it everlasting
Like the lifetime of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there’s enough for everyone
PLEASE DON’T HURT MY BABY
***************
Such a happy couple love and some
Til man goes busy just for fun
Man gets the guilt, tells fun girl we can’t no more
Fun girl says if you stop I’ll tell her right now
Aah, please don’t hurt my baby
That’s all his lips could say
Aah, please don’t hurt my baby
She won’t believe you anyway
I was blinded by sexsation
Temporarily out my head
Aah, please don’t hurt my baby
She mustn’t know we went to bed
You could hear him moaning
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
You shoulda thought about that boy
Before you were using it like a toy
You shoulda thought about that boy
Before you did the ooh aah ooh aah ooh ooh aaah
What a pretty love pair, perfect fit
Til woman sights on one that she’s just got to get with
Woman gets scared tells plaything we can’t no more
Plaything says if you stop I’ll tell him right now.
Aah, please don’t hurt my baby
That’s all her lips could say
Aah, please don’t hurt my baby
He won’t believe you anyway
I was blinded by desire
Temporarily insane
Aah, please don’t hurt my baby
He can’t know we did the wild thing
And you could hear her crying
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
You shoulda thought about that girl
Before you were giving up that pearl
You shoulda thought about that girl
Before you did the ooh aah ooh aah ooh ooh aaah
You shoulda thought about that boy
Before you were using it like a toy
You shoulda thought about that boy
Before you did the ooh aah ooh aah ooh ooh aaah
You shoulda thought about that girl
Before you were giving up that pearl
You shoulda thought about that girl
Before you did the ooh aah ooh aah ooh ooh aaah
You shoulda thought about that boy
Before you were using it like a toy
You shoulda thought about that boy
Before you did the ooh aah ooh aah ooh ooh aaah
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
TOO HIGH
***************
Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Dodo dodo do do
Dodo do do do dodo
Do do do do dodo do
Dodo dodo dodo
I’m too high
I’m too high
But I ain’t touched the sky
I’m too high
I’m too high
But I ain’t touched the sky
She’s a girl in a dream
She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster
On the T.V. screen
She takes another puff and says
“It’s a crazy scene”
That red is green
And she’s a tangerine
I’m too high
I’m too high
But I ain’t left the ground
I’m too high
I’m too high
I hope I never ever come down
She’s the girl in her life
But her world’s a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice
She wasn’t very nice
Ooh
Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Do do do do do do
Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
Dodo dodo
Dodo dodo
Dodo dodo
I’m too high
I’m too high
I’m so high
I feel like I’m about to die
I can’t ever touch the sky
I’m too high
She’s a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
A did you hear the news about the girl today
She passed away
What did her friend say
They said she’s too high
Too high
Can’t hang around anyway…
Dodo do do do dodo
Do do dodo do dodo
do…do…do…
do…do…do…
do…
