PART-TIME LOVER
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don’t want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover
If she isn’t with me I’ll blink the lights
To let you know tonight’s the night
For me and you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it’s so wrong, but feeling so right
If I’m with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don’t even speak
Know the word’s “discreet” with part-time lovers
But if there’s some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she won’t peek its really you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it’s so wrong, but feeling so right
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it’s so wrong, but feeling so right
I’ve got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you my part-time lover
And then a man called our exchange
But didn’t want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers
You and me, part-time lovers
But, she and he, part-time lovers
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
EDGE OF ETERNITY
***************
Wolf tickets are all you say I’m selling
Well that goes to show what you need to know
Cause I ain’t yackin’ nothin’ I ain’t packin’
My love can get with your love toe to toe
So when you’re ready
Really, truly ready
Holding strong and steady
I’ll be good to go
Cause if you start it
I am gonna finish it
I am gonna knock it
Like it ain’t been knocked before
Getting with this
Know you’re gonna be
Stepping off the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know it’s you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Dead air time is all you say you’re hearing
Well that shows how much you don’t comprehend
Cause it’s not in the loud but in the quiet
Where lies the thing that will make your head spin
So when you’re willin’
Really, truly willin’
Not just simply illin’
You just let me know
Cause when you get it
I ain’t gonna quit it
Girl, I’m gonna hit it
Like it ain’t been hit before
Gettin’ with this
Know you’re gonna be
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know it’s you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Pie in the sky is all you say I can deliver
Well wait til you feel what I’ve got in store
One hundred and eighty pounds of good and plenty
And when you’ve got the need I’ve got some more
So when you mean it
Really, truly mean it
Not just scheming to get to it
We can get it on
Cause if you woo it
I’m going to get to it
Girl, we’re gonna do it
Until every ounce is gone
Gettin’ with this
Know you’re gonna be
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know it’s you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Are you ready to step off the edge into eternity
Really, really ready to step off the edge into eternity
Cause if you’re ready to step off the edge into eternity
We can step right off the edge into eternity
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
HAPPIER THAN THE MORNING SUN
***************
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
All my life I was alone,
Didn’t think I’d find my part,
Now I see there’s joy inside your arms.
Every day I searched for the star,
That never was in the sky,
And now I see this star is on earth.
And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that I would be -that’s
what you told me yea
If I gave you a chance to come inside my life.
(I am) And I am happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way it will always be -that’s the way
it will always be
Ever since the day you came inside of my life.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Dum…
Dum…
Yea
And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be -baby that’s
what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said it would be
-woa that’s what you said it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Happier than the morning sun
That’s the way you said it would be
-baby that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life yea
I’m happier than the stars above
-yea the morning stars above
That’s the way you said that it would be
-that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside of my life.
I believe that everyone should be
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happy happy, happy
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
