Take Up A Course In Happiness lyrics - Stevie Wonder

When life reaches out and takes you
On an unpleasent ride
And your bridge of dreams comes
Tumblin' down
Don't let your bed of sorrow
Ever conquer your pride
Remember there's always a way out

Just take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile

And when your optimism
Has a set back or two
And you feel all your tryin's in vain
(Your heart's in the rain)
Don't give up the hope that's due you
Just to study your doubt
Remember there's always a way out

Just take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile

[Repeat three times]

I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer lyrics - Stevie Wonder

I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone

You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone

You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

Sunshine In Their Eyes lyrics - Stevie Wonder

A lonesome fear
A hungry face
A barren pain
A dream unchased
Oh I can't wait until the day there's sunshine in their eyes

A prayer is heard
By one so small
Let love be in the
Hearts of all
Oh I can't wait until there's sunshine in their eyes

You and I may never see them cry
Or wonder why the world's so cold
You feel that they're too young
To take a look around
But in their faces I can see the trouble all around

Today we must turn into lies
The truth already in their minds
Oh I can't wait until the day there's sunshine in their eyes

He can't wait until the day there's sunshine in their eyes
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sunshine
Oh I can't wait until the day there's sunshine in their eyes
Sunshine in our eyes

Oh my momma's worried cause she feels the world is ending
She believes that everything is coming to an end
Papa's stayin real careful cause his brother Sam was robbed
Trying to buy just a loaf of bread for baby John

See how the world escaped
All the streets turin bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just feeds in the air

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening

Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

Cost of livin's up, but the pay is low and down
Hate to see the babies starve cause momma cant be found
Sister lives alone, bolts and chains the door at night
Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way

See how the world escaped
All the streets turin bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just feeds in the air

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening

Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

Father Bills gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger
But could men die a stranger in every war
We all hide in shame bolding pointing to another
When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening

Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
yeah yeah yeah
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
everybody say it now
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
ahhh
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
yeaoow
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
ohhh noo
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
ohhhh oh baby
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
ohh baby
la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la

Never Had A Dream Come True lyrics - Stevie Wonder

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'

We Can Work It Out lyrics - Stevie Wonder

(originally by The Beatles)

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo baby, here I am,
Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo baby, here I am,
Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)

I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Hey, hey, yea, yea, didn't I, oh baby

Seen alot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing, girl

Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered,
I'm yours, oh I'm yours
Oo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you are my only desire

Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered,
I'm yours Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)

I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man but here I am

With your future, got your future babe (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Heaven Help Us All lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Heaven help the child who never had a home,
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall,
Heaven help us all.

Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day,
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away,
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl,
Heaven help us all.

Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call
Oh, yeah!

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one,
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun.
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall,
Lord, Heaven help us all.

Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call.

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep.
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep, keep hatred from the mighty,
And the mighty from the small,
Heaven help us all.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah!
Heaven help us all.

You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Hey there miss fine
Sweet little clinging vine
Your actions kind of show me you love me truly, yeah
You're warmer than July, sweet as apple pie
I can't let you know you're getting to me

Yeah, 'cause you can't judge a book by it's cover
My papa used to say
"look child, look beyond a tender smile"
'Cause can't judge a book by it's lover

Girl, I'm sweet on you
Though you can't see through
this unconcerned expression I've been wearing
Hey, I practice looking bored so you can feel ignored
But that don't mean that I'm not really caring
Yeah, 'cause you can't judge a book by it's cover
And you can't judge a book by it's lover
Maybe my coldness is a mask, maybe your loving will last
But can't judge a book by it's cover

Somewhere beyond the skin, somewhere deep within
We may find that love is there to test us, yeah
But we've got to have the nerve to give it all it deserves
And maybe we'll find something precious
Yeah, 'cause you can't judge a book by it's cover
Only time it's gonna show, only time will let us know
'Cause you can't judge a book by it's cover
And you can't judge a book by it's lover
We've got to search each other's minds
We've got to read between the lines
Oh, take a different look
And make our hearts an open book
Oh, you can't judge a book by it's cover
No, no, no, no
And you can't judge a book by it's lover

Sugar lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Sugar, Sugar
How I wanna be your main boy
Sugar, Sugar
How I wanna be your play toy

Got no time for every woman
Thinking that she's looking fine
Got no pockets full of money no no no
A fox would just be wasting her time

All I got is good good loving
And good loving doesn't have to find
Hey!

Sugar, Sugar
How I wanna be your baby boy
Sugar, Sugar
How I wanna be your play toy

Get it baby!
Ehhhhhhh
Mmmmmmmmhmmmm yeah

Got no need for fancy places
Got no need for cannon and wine
Got no need to move to the city no no no
Got no need to walk the line

All I need is good home cooking
And some sugar after supper time
Heeyy hey

Sugar, Sugar
How I wanna be your baby boy
Sugar, Sugar
How I wanna be your play toy

Ohh sugar
Ohh sugar
Ooohhhooohhhooohhh sugar
Ohh sugar
Ohh sugar ...

Don't Wonder Why lyrics - Stevie Wonder

You never see, the little sparkle, in my eye
I wonder why
Sometimes I wish, you stop and hold me,
But you pass right by
I wonder why

I tried, everything I could,
I even change my walk,
The way that I stood
But you, pass by me, and pretend that you don't even see me
But I want you to know (Uuuummmm)

If one day you decide to smile,
And say hello and I say goodbye (Uuuummmm)
Don't wonder why my baby (no) Don't wonder why my baby

When I think of how you hurt me, it brings the tears, to my eyes
I just can't seem to make you happy, no matter how hard I try
I wonder why

Seems like, no matter what I do, it's never good, enough for you
My pain, it shows loud, but it still can't let go now,
But I want you to know, now

Nights grow old and winds blow cold, so old if my loves grows cold
And I, don't wonder why my baby (woooo) baby don't wonder why
Oh yeah!

(Yeaaahhh) Seems like, no matter what I do, I'm never, never, never, never,
Never good enough for you
My pain it shows loud, oh you know I still just no matter I just can't let go
Now, but I want you to know!!!
Love me baby

Nights grow old and winds blow cold, and so old, if my love grows cold
And I've, don't wonder why baby
No, no, no, no, don't wonder why my baby
Baby don't wonder why, don't wonder why my baby
Don't wonder why ,my baby
No, no, no, no don't wonder why my baby (Ooohhh)
Don't wonder why my baby
Can you hear me, can you hear me

Anything You Want Me To Do lyrics - Stevie Wonder

I Love You
But I've been away from you so long
God take me back to where I belong baby
I'll do what you want me to
I'll do what you want me to do,
I'll do anything

I want you
I never needed you so bad
Why do you feel like making me so sad
Girl I'll do whatever you want me to
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to

Love's the thing thats made us happy,
Love's the thing thats made us sad,
If we don't get back together,
We might lose our romance
Might not get a second chance...

I Love You
And I wanna be your man
If you tell me that I can baby
You know I'll do whatever you want me to
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to do

Love's the thing thats made us happy,
Love's the thing thats made us sad,
If we don't get back together,
We might lose our romance
Might not get a second chance...

I Love You
And I wanna be your man
If you tell me that I can baby
I'll do whatever you want me to
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to do

I'll do what you want me to

I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to do

Everything you want me to

I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to do

Every every every every every every every every every

I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to do

Everything
Everything you want me to do

I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to do

I Can't Let My Heaven Walk Away lyrics - Stevie Wonder

I can't let my heaven walk away
Just cant let my heaven walk away
Just gotta find a way to make her stay
I don't know what I've done wrong
Look up and find my heaven gone

Called her name but I called in vain
I know she can't answer from a picture frame
Only an hour ago I held her in real flesh and blood
She just grabbed her coat and said please I've had enough

She kept me well like a Sunday prayer
Just like my own right hand the girl was always there
To every man but me her eyes were blind
I was in the promise land long before my time

I can't let my heaven walk away
Just cant let my heaven walk away
Just gotta find a way to make her stay
I don't know what I've done wrong
Look up and find my heaven gone

I accused my baby of being a liar
I said the flesh is weak in God's key trial
I only asked her to hear her tell me no
But my question back-fired, I didn't expect her to go

I cant let my heaven walk away
Just cant let my heaven walk away
Just gotta find a way to make her stay
I don't know what I've done wrong
Look up and find my heaven gone
[Repeat]

Joy (Takes Over Me) lyrics - Stevie Wonder

You can bet you're sweeter than ever
And your love is making it better
I can feel it in my bones
Oooh each time we're alone

Cause I live in ecstasy
And my soul refuses sleep
Cause joy, joy takes over me

Through thick and thin I'll stand
Loving you always
Yes I need you mama
To take the heartache away
I know the sun's gon' shine
And as long as you're mine
It's joy, joy, joy I feel inside

Your love's potion
Gives me the notion
To shout out loud
Ooh baby baby baby babe
Like a spinning top
I can't stop
Just loving you
You know Stevie loves you
Needs you baby oh yeah

You know my love is sure to live
Ain't goin' nowhere
And I do believe girl
You were meant for me

Cause I live in ecstasy
And my soul refuses sleep
Cause joy, joy takes over me

Oh baby joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy joy joy joy joy joy
The way you love me joy
Takes over me
Oh the way you love me
The way you need me
Baby please don't leave me
I get joy.

I Gotta Have A Song lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Got no place to be
No one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay
Only yesterday
Today my world is blue

So show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music I just might go on
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
A happy happy song

Had a happy home
Now it's turned to stone
Kitchen's cold and bare
She'd cook all day for me
I still hurry home to see
But I know that she's not there

So show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music I just might go on
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
A happy happy song

Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just can't go wrong
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
A happy happy song
[Repeat]
