WEAKNESS
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Everytime I think our love is drifting apart
Something always throws it back together
And everytime I think I’ve found someone new for my heart
After one kiss my heart tells me never
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
Everytime I think your love has no more to give
You do something more to take me higher
And everytime I think that for someone else I could live
I’d be living love out as a liar
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
We keep thinking that our love won’t last beyond tomorrow
But our hearts say we’re gonna stay in love this way
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
FREE
***************
Free like the river
Flowin’ freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself’s troubled mind
Freer than the clock’s hands
Tickin’ way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin’
But possessing riches more than all
And I’m free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shinning through my soul
Free from feelin’ heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that’s the infinite start
I’m gone – gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby’s sleepin’ eyes
I’m free like a river
Flowin’ freely to infinity
I’m free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not be
I’m much freer – like the meaning of the word free that
crazy man defines
Free – free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity
RAIN YOUR LOVE DOWN
***************
Such a lovely world was made for you and me
Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell, hear, and see
But one glance from outside looking at our world state
Clearly displays we don’t appreciate it at all
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Such ability inside you and me
Made to do anything and be all we can be
But one bird’s eye view at us does show, oh it shows
That against God’s Plan we’ve let it go, oh no
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away
You’d think the signs would make a difference,
Oh, make a difference
You’d think fire next time instead of rain
Would cause us to make a change
The world has gone insane
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away, let it rain
Rain your love down let it pour on us, please
Cleansing us from hunger, hate, war, and greed
Rain your love down, won’t you let it start over again
So we can live up to your Master Plan
Rain your love down, oh won’t you let it start
Wash the wicked minds and the…
I know they’re sick, you know they’re sick at heart, yeah
Rain your love down won’t you let it rain
Rid this world of drugs, disease, crime, and pain
Clear our spirits give our minds new software
With your lesson on honor, respect, trust, and care
Rain your love down I beg for human sake
For only you can get us out of this state
Rain your love down on all mankind
Cause we are out of order and so out of line
FRANKIE & JOHNNY
***************
Frankie & Johnny were sweethearts
At least, that’s the way the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
From his sports-car to his Ivy League clothes
Oh, he was a man allright,
Oh, but he was doing a-wrong
Just to show you what came happen
A friend came running to Frankie
Said you know I wouldn’t tell you no lie
I saw your man riding in his Jaguar
With a chick named Mary Bley
Oh if he was your man honey
Let me tell you he was doing you wrong
Let me tell the story
Frankie ran around the corner
And peeked in a swinging place
And there she saw Johnny with a woman
He had his arm around her waist
Oh he was a man alright
But Frankie could see that he was doing a-wrong
Oh let me tell you
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
And up with a long 44
She shot once, twice, three times
And Johnny fell on the hardwood floor
Oh he was a man alright
But she shot him because he was doing a-wrong
But the last thing he told her was
Frankie, you know I love you
Why, honey why did you do that
Frankie, I was telling her about you
Frankie, you know I love you
Frankie, you know that I love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Frankie you know good well that I love you
Frankie I’ll always love you baby
Frankie, you know I can’t do without you
Frankie, you know I love you
I’m your man and I know I was doing a-wrong
BEDTIME FOR TOYS
***************
Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier,
Mommy says that it’s time for sleep,
If my folks were wiser and older,
They’d know kids and toys don’t need sleep.
Don’t be bad little cotton dolly,
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise,
Cause he knows it’s past bedtime for toys.
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer,
sled, and a big bag of toys and he’ll come to your house this year too.
But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn’t have enough time to see every little boy and girl because the world is so big.
So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn’t visit.
Bless the child who has no tin soldier,
No brass drummer boy to put to bed.
He will still grow wiser and older,
Loving one small rag doll instead.
He won’t have a cotton dolly,
Mickey Mouse won’t come to his house.
Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy
The beauty one shall find in one small toy.
ONE OF A KIND
***************
There we were two lonely souls
Existing from day to day
Feeling love would never
Come our way
Watching lover share their bliss
Sadly wishing only if
Believing that we had to live
Life like this
But Like a bolt of lightning
As when two stormy clouds collide
We made a joyful happening
To our lives
Now we’re as happy as can be
Me loving you and you loving me
Two hearts intertwined
Which makes us one of a kind
Feeling the charge of a love evermore
Knowing that love is enough to live for
It feels so fine
Sharing love one of a kind
One of a kind now baby
Your love and mine, such ecstasy
One of kind sweet darling
The only way love is meant to be
United love so fine
Living in love one of a kind
It feels nothing but fine
Sharing our love one of kind
-Harmonica Solo-
If we had a second chance
At living a second time
We’d change everything but our love
In our lives
‘Cause like a big disaster
Lost in a never-ending night
We light a light of magic
Now we’re as happy as can be
Me loving you and you loving me
Two hearts intertwined
Which makes us one of a kind
Feeling the charge of a love evermore
Knowing that love is enough to live for
It feels so fine
Sharing love one of a kind
One of a kind, now baby
Your love and mind, such ecstasy
One of a kind, sweet darling
The only way love is meant to be
