SPOKEN FUNK

For once in my life

For once in my life I
have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can
go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch
what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would
make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it
hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone
anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I
have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Hold me

1966

Hold me darling hold me
And I'll always be your, be your guy
Closer,
baby come closer
Let me be the one that loves and be by your side

Why should
you be lonely when I need you so
Give my arms a chance I know I'll never let go
So
hold me, baby hold me
Say you'll never let me go

Why should you be lonely when
I need you so
Give my arms a chance I know I'll never let go
So hold me, baby hold
me
Say you'll never let me go

You know I love you so
I'll never-never let you
go
I'll never let you go
Oh baby-baby, hold me
Why should we be apart
I'll
never-never let you go

I love every little thing about
you
Stevie wonder "Music Of my Mind" 1972

Though they say
you're not my friend
You've been here through thick and thin
And for that little girl I
love ya
And all I want to do is talk about ya.

I'm here to say
I love you more
each day
And I just want to tell the world
That I love you so.

Though they put
me down because
I love you as much as I do
But they don't know what you've done
for me
You've made such a happy man out of me.

And I'm here to say
Love
you everyday, yea
And I just want to tell the world
That I love you so.

Baby, I
love, I love, I love, I love every little thing
about you baby
Oh yea, I love, I love, I love, I
love every little thing
about you baby, Mmm yea

Though they say that I am
wrong
Cause my love is strong
There's only one that I place above you.
It's God
that I place above you.

Girl I just want to say
Love you more each day, yea
I just
want to tell the world
That I love you so, yea.

Some folks say that it's
strange
But my whole life you have changed
You've saved all the pain the world's put
on me
All I want to do is talk about you And I'm here to say
Love you everyday, yea
yea
Telling everybody that,
I love you so, yea yea

every little thing about you baby, yea yea yea

"The Songs In a Key of Life" 1976


Looking back on
when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what
would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy
with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with
those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "boy thought I told you
not to go outside,"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might
stop her
From woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once
more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once
more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says
he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give
you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday
school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and
writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's
office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you
were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once
more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once
more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
