ORDINARY PAIN
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
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
SWEETEST SOMEBODY I KNOW
***************
There is something on my mind that’s in my heart written on my face
And it would behove me and my soul if I did state my case
And so as truth is real and real is truth this truly must be told
That you’ve got to be the sweetest somebody I Know
It’s your love for life, your love for God, your love for love and more
And you express your love in ways like I’ve never known before
If there’s a record kept on who’s the sweetest let the record show
That you’ve got to be the sweetest somebody I Know
You are the sweetest somebody I know
And that is why I can’t help but love you so
In a time when people are on with making sure that they’re okay
You pour out your love every second, every minute, every hour of the day
I’m not trying to blow your horn I’m only saying what is so
That you’ve got to be the sweetest somebody I Know
You are the sweetest somebody I know
And that is why I can’t help but love you so
When I feel like from giving up from seeing all life’s pain and strife
You rejuvenate me saying everything’s gonna be alright
If there’s a place called “heaven” bet my life someday you’re gonna go
Cause you’ve got to be the sweetest somebody I Know
You are the sweetest somebody I know
And that is why I can’t help but love you so

This is fun day
Yours and my day
This is fun day, dee ooh, wee ooh
This is fun day
On a fine day
When the air is filled with tweeting birds that sing
together in the sun
This is your day
Yours and my day
When you feel the joy of children playing,
laughing from dust till dawn
On a day like this you share your joy
with everyone
Share your peace, and share your joy,
and share your love
This is fun day
On a fine day
When you feel the urge of getting up to start-up
with the break of dawn
This is your day
Yours and my day
When you turn on your radio and hear the DJ
playing your favorite song
On a day like this not even bad can rub
you wrong
Cause you say it’s okay cause it’s your day
I’m gonna go out to the park
Where you feel the joy in every heart
That’s what I need to start each day off right
Oh, I’ll find a place for you and me
Underneath the shade of a lover’s tree
Fun day should be each day in all our lives
This is fun day
Yours and my day
This is fun day, dee ooh, wee ooh
This is love day
A celebration
A day on every calendar that’s set aside
for everyone to give
This is your day
Such a fun day
I cannot believe a day like this has come
that’s if this really is
I’m so very proud to say that for this day I’ve lived
To see your peace, to see your joy, and to
see your love
I’m gonna go out to the park
Where you feel the joy in every heart
That’s what I need to start this day off right
Oh, I’ll find a place for you and me
Underneath the shade of a lover’s tree
Fun day should be each day in all our lives
This is love day
A celebration
A day on every calendar that’s set aside for
everyone to give
Let me solo, let me solo, let me solo…solo
I GO SAILING
***************
I took a worthless trip
Down life’s avenue
Just to try to find a way to smile again
While I was on my way
I met a wise man who said
That happiness you only find within
I learned my lesson then
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you’ll find
I took a friend’s advice
Who said go up and away
Take the magic of a mystery tour
But I felt so all alone
Though I could almost touch the stars
I started missing things I touched before
The tour was such a bore
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you’ll find
YESTERME YESTERYOU YESTERDAY
***************
What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
I had a dream so did you life
Was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester folls and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but
The memory of yester love and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Sing with me
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
One more time…..
