TABOO TO LOVE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Are you telling me you feel
Like you have never felt
Ut Oh, my heart
Don’t you know those famous words
Be seen but not heard
Taboo to love
Are you telling me your eyes
Met hers to your surprise
But why, my heart?
How loud must you hear me say
Have fun but don’t play
Taboo to love
Where’s your lantern or candlelight
So to guide you through the hidden spaces
Through its said truth unveils all lies
Feelings can’t be left to roam
So you say you’ve lost your head
But you use your heart instead
Beware of love
This is not like you at all
Who vowed to never fall
Taboo to love, taboo to love
Taboo
To love, taboo to love
Taboo
Where’s your raincoat and over-boots
To protect you in stormy weather
Though its said when you walk in truth
Love can bring you no harm
So you’ve made up in your mind
You’ll leave your fears behind
So brave my heart
I guess your heart has made you see
It’s better to be free
No taboo to love
I guess your heart has made you see
It’s much better to be free
No taboo to love
No taboo to love
Taboo
To love, no taboo to love
Taboo
To love, no taboo to love
Taboo
To love, no taboo to love
Taboo
No taboo to love
I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU
***************
No New Year’s Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here’s just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer’s high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart
SPIRITUAL WALKERS
***************
They knock on your door
You laugh in their face
They tell you it’s time to pray
They give you a book
And tell you to read
And point to the Judgment Day
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
They sit on a stump
You run from their sight
To not hear the holy word
They sing and they chant
They preach and they speak
In tongues you have never heard
But people say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Walk on …
On corners of streets
And airports of tents
They reach out for you to come in
They have no defense
Except inner sense
And knowing the Almighty Friend
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life : truth into your life
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Come on and shine that light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Even though when they knock on your door
You laugh in their face
You run from their sight
Not to hear the holy word
They have no defense
Except inner sense
Haven’t you
NEVER HAD A DREAM COME TRUE
***************
I never, never had a dream come true
In my every dream, I’m loved by you
And we’re free as the wind
And true love is no sin
Therefore, men are men, not machines
I never, never had a dream come true
Without you, the world out there is painted shades of blue
Since our roads never crossed
I work just to please the boss
Think I might as well get lost in my dreams
Do do do do do………
I never, never had a dream come true
Yes, I’m gonna dream about you baby my whole life through
Seems my folks are ashamed
Said I ain’t worth a thing
But I’m glad I’m chained to my dreams
Do do do do do……….
Keep on dreamin’
Sing along with me
Keep on dreamin’
AIN’T THAT LOVE
***************
Now, baby when you sigh
(when you sigh)
I wanna sigh with you
When you cry
(when you cry)
I wanna cry some, too
Now, ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Oh, ain’t that love that I feel
(that I feel)
In my heart for you
When your friends
(when your friends)
Turn their back on you
I’ll be here
(I’ll be here)
Just to see you through
Now, ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Ain’t that love, ooohhh now
Ain’t that love
That I feel in my heart for you
Now when you walk
(when you walk)
I wanna walk with you
When you talk
(when you talk)
Wanna talk some, too
Now, ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Oh, ain’t that love that I feel
(that I feel)
In my heart for you
If you ever
(if you ever)
Ever need a friend
I’ll be with you
(be with you)
Yes, until the end
Now, ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Don’t you know, baby don’t you know, I
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ain’t that love, baby that I feel
In my heart for you
Baby, won’t you let me hold your hand
I want to squeeze you as tight as I can
Baby, don’t you need my by your side
To protect you and be your guide
Baby, I’m so in love with you
I’d do anything you tell me to
Now, ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
Ain’t that love
(ain’t that love)
C’mon now, ain’t that love, now
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ain’t that love, baby that I feel
In my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh!
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
