SWEETEST SOMEBODY I KNOW
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
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
YOU AND I
***************
Here we are on earth together,
It’s you and I,
God has made us fall in love, it’s true,
I’ve really found someone like you
Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say,
That you will be by my side
To see me through,
Until my life is through
Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world,
In love you and I, you and I, you and I
I am glad at least in my life I found someone
That may not be here forever to see me through,
But I found strength in you,
I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day,
Because that’s all that I am living for, you see,
Don’t worry what happens to me
Cause’ in my mind, you will stay here always,
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
In my mind we can conquer the world
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I
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
UPTIGHT (EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT)
***************
Baby, ev’rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
I’m a poorman’s son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own is hangin’ on my back,
But I’m the envy of ev’ry single guy
Since I’m the apple of my girl’s eye.
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money’s low and my suit’s out of style,
But it’s all right if my clothes aren’t new
Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev’rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
She’s a pearl of a girl, I guess that’s what you might say,
I guess her folks brought her up that way,
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.
She says no one is better than I, I know I’m just an average guy,
No football hero or smooth Don Juan,
Got empty pockets, you see I’m a poorman’s son.
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I’ll never, never make my baby cry,
And it’s all right, what I can’t do,
Out of sight because my heart is true,
She says baby ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
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…
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
***************
Me and my heart took a
Vow from the start and a
Vow to my heart I never break
Seasons may come and the
Seasons may go but know
Through every time and space
My love will always stay forever and always
From the bottom of my heart, I love you
I can say these words to you without delay
If you’re wondering just how long I’ll love you
Try forever that’s how long I’ll feel this way
Me and my heart got a
Promise from the stars that they’d
Keep this love burning endlessly
People will come just as
People will go but know
Whatever life has in store
Through all eternity you will have my love for always
From the bottom of my heart, I love you
I can say these words to you without delay
If you’re wondering just how long I’ll love you
Try forever that’s how long I’ll feel this way
Yes, forever is how long my love will stay
Forever is a long, long time
But so what?
