Cold Chill lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Feelin young and full of fun
Hangin out with my crew
Hot to trot and about to pop
Tryin to find some girl to get into

There she was fine as can be
Hair braided down to her knees
She took me home, she turned me out
But before sunrise she said I must leave

It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night

Far from meek, and feelin chic
Refusing to concede defeat
There I was same crew, same time
Same club we kicked it at the previous week

I asked her how could she have the nerve
To treat me with such disgrace
She blinked her eyes, smiled, apologized
Threw her drink right in my face

It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night, on a summer night
On a summer night, on a summer night
A cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill

Weekends came and weekends passed
But not the yearning in my heart
And there she was to light the spark
Like she did right from the very start

I took no time, drove to her house
Got deep into a passion high
I heard a knock, the turn of a key
And the voice of another guy

It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night, on a summer night
On a summer night, on a summer night

It was a cold chill
Like standing in the deep freeze
A cold chill
Like when snow's above your knees
Cold chill
Like sitting at the north pole
A cold chill
Wearing not one stitch of clothes
Cold chill
Like a winter Chicago night
A cold chill
Twenty ice cubes down your back for spite
Cold chill
Stranded in sub-zero degrees
A cold chill
Layed out on the arctic sea
Cold chill
When your fingers get frost bite
A cold chill
Buried beneath ten feet of ice
Cold chill
Baby, that ain't so nice
A cold chill

Sorry lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Into each life there comes a time
When you must pay your lovers' dues
Breakin' out in a cold sweat
Cause you've been rightfully accused

I'm not such a strong man
That love can't make me weak
You're walkin' out the door
And it's hurting me so deep, so deep

And I'm sorry
Sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
I'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're
saying goodbye to me

Every young boy will grow up
To then become a man
Then the difference from wrong and right
He clearly understands
I'm not such a big man
That I can't break down in tears
Cause my whole body went into shock
When you told me you were out of here! Out of here!

And I'm sorry
Sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
I'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're saying
goodbye to me, to me

I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cry
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever told you lies
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, so sorry

If you added up all the good times
And compared them with the bad
You'd realize that our love
Was the best you ever had

I'm not such a proud man
That I won't cop a plea
See me baby girl, I'm on my knees
Beggin please, baby please, baby please, oh yeah

I'm sorry, sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
I'm sorry, I'm sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're
saying goodbye to me, me baby, me baby, me baby

I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever told you lies
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cry
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry [repeat]

Conversation Peace lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Staring right at 2000 AD
As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history
But just a glance at life in 2000 BC
We find traces of man's inhumanity to man
There's no mystery

All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace

We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be
When there's a plan by any means to have
Cleansing of one's ethnicity
And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see
Like the holocaust of six million Jews and
A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery

All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace

When publicly or privately convened
May love, positivity and life's preservation
be the basic theme
And shouuld you put your trust in some
prophet in life
Give him trust but your faith must stay
with the one
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for...

All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
Ther's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation is peace [repeat]

"Characters" (1987)

You Will Know lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Lonely one of young so brokenhearted
Traveling down the rigid road of life
Using pharmaceutical extractions
To find the paradise

Finds the high but comes down feeling lower
Gets down on their knees and starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

You will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show

You will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Every life has reason
For I made it so

Single parent trying to raise their children
But they would much rather not alone
Reaches out to find that special someone
To make their house a home

Finds someone but no one is the right one
Gets down on their knees and starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

You will know
Lonely heart you'll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show

You will know
Lonely heart you'll know
Every life has reason
For I made it so

[repeat 1st and 2nd chorus]

Dark 'N' Lovely lyrics - Stevie Wonder

There is a place
On earth's motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate
Womanchild's fate
Is life second rate

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin' to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely

Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely

The whole planet's watchin'
And the Sun God is watchin', too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin' you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain

Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely

In Your Corner lyrics - Stevie Wonder

I hear tell there's big fun tonight
On the corner of Main and Dog-Meat-Bite
Friday midnights would not be right
Without Redd's hot party and a nasty fight

But I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do

You can't renege cause it's going to be alive
Fine women, lots of liquor and stuff for your mind
Now where we're going they don't like your kind
But they'll cool out when you tell them you're a friend of mine

'Cause I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do

You can't tell your pa and mama
Where we're going going till after we've been there
'Cause that might make their poor heads worry
And worrying can cause grey hair
And one thing might lead to another
And if there'e any trouble they'll blame it on me

I think we just might have two to go
The pretty looking over here from the middle of the floor
We'll make a b-line to Hotel La Sin
Where you'll do the talking to get us in

And I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do

We shoulda been long gone 'cause this place is hot
'Cause in the corner there are two brothers that are undercover cops
If they stop us for questionning mum is the word
'Cause a question not answered is an answer not heard

And I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do

You can't tell your pa and mama
Where we're going going till after we've been there
'Cause that might make their poor heads worry
And worrying can cause grey hair
And one thing might lead to another
And if there's any trouble they'll blame it on me

With Each Beat Of My Heart lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Honey, sweet
I've got something to say to you in privacy
Something I'd like for you to hear
And only your ears alone

Secretly, I've been admiring you intensely
So much so I'd like to settle down with you
And make a home

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

Honey, sweet
I soared into a heaven's galaxy
So hypnotized was I
From seeing all the magic in your eyes

So I bring
To you what's been a lifetime fantasy
Of being with the only one who can
Create my paradise

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

One Of A Kind lyrics - Stevie Wonder

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
[Repeat]

Skeletons lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Skeletons in your closet
Itchin' to come outside
Messin' with your conscience
In a way your face can't hide

Oh things are gettin' real funky
Down at the old corral
And it's not the skunks that are stinkin'
It's the stinkin' lies you tell

[Bridge]
What did your mama tell you about lies
She said it wasn't polite to tell a white one
What did your daddy tell you about lies
He said one white lie turns into a black one

So, it's gettin' ready to blow
It's gettin' ready to show
Somebody shot off at the mouth and
We're getting ready to know

It's gettin' ready to drop
It's gettin' ready to shock
Somebody done turned up the heater
An' a it's gettin' ready to pop

Crevices in your pantry
Now what do we have in here
Havin' a day time nightmare
Has always been your biggest fear

Oh things are gettin' real crucial
Up the old wazoo
Yet you cry, why am I the victim?
When the culprit's y-o-u

[Bridge]
What did your mama tell you about lies
She said it wasn't polite to tell a white one
What did your daddy tell you about lies
He said one white lie turns into a black one

So, it's gettin' ready to blow
It's gettin' ready to show
Somebody shot off at the mouth and
We're gettin' ready to know

It's gettin' ready to drop
It's gettin' ready to shock
Somebody done turning the heater
An' a it's gettin' ready to pop

It's gettin' ready to seep
You're gettin' ready to freak
Somebody done picked up the talk box
And gettin' ready to speak

It's gettin' ready to jive
It's gettin' ready to gel
Somebody done gone let the lid off
And it's gettin' ready to smell

They're gettin' ready to deal
You're gettin' ready to ill
Somebody done just dropped the big dime
And they're gettin' ready to squeal

It's gettin' ready to turn
We're gettin' ready to learn
Somebody done fired up the brimstone
And you're gettin' ready to burn

It's gettin' ready to shake
You're gettin' ready to ache
Somebody done snitched to the news crew
And it's gettin' ready to break

You're gettin' ready to lie
They're gettin' ready to spy
Somebody' s been put on the hot seat
And you're gettin' ready to fry

Get It lyrics - Stevie Wonder

[SW] ... Miss Lady Girl
Is putting her love on the shelf
Cause she don't want
To be hurt by nobody else

She's taken her heart
And put it away under lock and key
But it's high time
Miss Lady Girl sets her heart free and gives her love to me

[MJ] ... Some think that diamond rings, fancy cars
Will make a big impression
But I know that all she needs is my tender
Love and affection
Cause she still says

That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it

And I feel that I will be the one who will

[SW] ... No one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I know that I will be the one who will

[MJ] ... Gonna get it, her love
[SW] ... Gonna get it, her kisses
[MJ] ... Gonna get it, her heart
[BOTH] ... Gonna get it, get it

[MJ] ... Miss Lady Girl
Has buried her feelings deep inside
Cause she don't want
To be taken for another ride

She's sick and tired
of being on that lonely merry-go-round
She just don't know
That the ultimate love
Of her life is about to be found

[SW] ... They think that ready cash, flashy clothes
Will fill her life with laughter

But I've got the very thing that she needs
True love forever after
Then no more will she say

That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will

[MJ] ... No one's gonna got it
No one's gonna get It, oh no
But someone's gonna get it
And I know that I will be the one who will

Gonna get it, her love
Gonna get it, her kisses
Gonna get it, her heart
Gonna get it, gonna get it, [etc.]

Galaxy Paradise lyrics - Stevie Wonder

You are so unpredictable
When I am not
You are so irresistible
That I can't stop
You say my name
And start walking on heaven

What flying saucer did you come here on
What extraterrestrial planet are you from
You're much more than life
You are from galaxy paradise
What flying saucer did you come here on
What will they say when they find that you're gone
Say you'll stay in my life
Queen from galaxy paradise

You are so unforgettable
When I will not
Our love's far more than sensual
And twice as hot
You touch my hand
And I know that we'll love forever

What flying saucer did you come here on
What extraterrestrial planet are you from
You're much more than life
You are from galaxy paradise
What flying saucer did you come here on
What will they say when they find that you're gone
Say you'll stay in my life
Queen from galaxy paradise

Cryin' Through The Night lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Hear me cryin' through the night

I am lonely, downhearted and sad
'Cause I've lost the best woman that I ever had
To a friend of mine

Just can't figure out how it could be
That somebody like him could take her away from me
And it's on my mind
Nearly all the time

Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I am cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Hear me cryin' through the night
Now I know just how best friends can be
'Cause he made sure you knew your best was with me
And it's on my mind

Here's a lesson much greater that wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
And your smiling eyes
Won't be cryin' like mine
Yes I'm cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I'm cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin' through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Oh, Oh, yeah
Hear me cryin', cryin', I'm cryin', cryin'
I'm cryin' baby, cryin' baby yeah
Even a fool can tell
That so many tears sho' enough done fell
And pretty soon before you know
I'll have enough tears to fill a water well
Hear me cryin' through the night
Oh yeah, cryin' through the night
[Break]
And it's on my mind
Nearly all the time

Yes I'm cryin'
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I'm cryin'
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
Tears on my pillow
And I have been cryin' through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm weeping like a weeping willow
Oh, Oh, cryin' tears, cryin' tears
Through the night

Free lyrics - Stevie Wonder

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

Come Let Me Make Your Love Come Down lyrics - Stevie Wonder

There's a girl in my life about 4'10"
She's the one who brings me morning joy
And brings me joy when my day ends
She says my life will never have no problems
That her love cannot fix
And she proves her worth true
Every time she goes into her love bag of tricks

She's got everything I want
Everything I need
And if she ain't got it
She knows how to find the remedy

And she tells me

Come let me make your love come down
[Repeat 7 times]

She says you'll never worry in your life
As long as you come and let me
Make your love come down
I call her Miss Satisfaction
Cause she keeps me satisfied
She gets my automatic smile
When she whispers Steveland, I love you, I love you,
I love you

Such a lovely world is my life
Since that girl has come inside
And everyday that I live
I'm gonna do my best to keep her satisfied

Our love will never have no problem
That the both of us can't fix
Cause like glue to a stamp
Like gum on a shoe
She and I are going to stick

She's got everything I want
Everything I need
And if she ain't got it
She knows how to find the remedy

And she tells me

Come let me make your love come down
[Repeat 7 times]
