Isn't She Lovely (03:22)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

[Harmonica Solo]

Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love

[Harmonica Solo] [Postlude]

Uptight (Everything's Alright) (02:52)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.

I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back,
But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
'Cause I'm the apple of my girl's eye.
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style,

But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,
I guess her folks brought her up that way,
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.
She says, no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy,

No football hero or smooth Don Juan,
Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son.
Can't give her the things that money can buy
But I never, never, never make my baby cry,

And it's all right, what I can't do,
Out of sight because my heart is true,
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

I Was Made to Love Her (02:35)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
I was born in Lil' Rock,
Had a childhood sweetheart,
We were always hand in hand.

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,
Suzy was in pig tails,
I know I loved her even then.

You know my papa disapproved it,
My mama boohooed it,
But I told them time and time again,
"Don't you know I was made to love her,
Built a world all around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey.

She's been my inspiration,
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years.

Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly,
My life grew sweeter through the years.

I know that my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
That's why we made it through the years.

I was made to love her,
Worship and adore her,
Hey, hey, hey.

All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end,
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!

My baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
And I know I ain't going nowhere.

I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me,
I had the fever with each passing year.

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,
If this whole world crumbles,
By her side I'll still be standing there.

'Cause I was made to love her,
I was made to live for her, yeah!

Ah, I was made to love her,
Built my world all around her,
Hey, hey, hey.

Oo baby, I was made to please her,
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no,
Hey, hey, hey.

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
Hey, hey, hey.

OO my baby loves me....

For Once in My Life (02:47)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
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,
Somehow I know I'll be strong,
For once I can touch,
What my heart used to dream of,
Long before I knew,

Ohhhhh someone warm like you,
Would make my dreams come true,
Yeah, yeah yeah.

For once in my life,
I wont let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know wont 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,

(Ha ha ha heyyy yeah!
Oh baby love baby.)

For once in my life

*Instrumental solo*

For once in my life,
I wont let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know wont 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,

(Ohh! For once in my life,
Yeah,
Somebody that needs me,
Ooooh baby!
For once in my life.)

My Cherie Amour (02:51)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as a milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In the cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday (03:04)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
Yester-me Yester-you Yesterday

What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yester-me yester-you yesterday

Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yester-me yester-you yesterday

I had a dream so did you
Life was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester-fools and now
Now it seems those yester-dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yester-me yester-you yesterday

When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing
but the memory of yester love
and now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play

Yester-me yester-you yesterday
Yester-me yester-you yesterday
Sing with me
Yester-me yester-you yesterday
One more time...

Never Had a Dream Come True (03:12)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
dodododdoodolllododododo
I never never had a dream come true
in my every dream im loved by you
and were 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 would be in chains of blue
since our roads never crossed
i work just to please the boss
I think I might as well just get lost in my dreams

Dododododododododdodododoooooo
dodododoodododododo
I never never had a dream come true
guess im gonna dream about you baby my whole life through
seems my folks are ashamed, said i aint worth the pain
but im glad im chained to my dreams

dodododododododododooooooo
dodododododododododododdodooo

Keep on dreamin
dododododododododododododododododo....
Sing along with me
dododdodododododo......
KEEP ON DREAMING ....

Superstition (04:01)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Hay, hay, hay,ohhhh
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh go
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

Living for the City (03:40)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city

Da da da...

His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use coloured people
Living just enough, just enough for the city

Da da da...

Living just enough, for the city, woah [Repeat]

Da da da...

[Interlude]

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city

Da da da...

I Wish (04:11)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
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

Doo Do Doo...

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 hall
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?

Sir Duke (03:52)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands

But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people

Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all, Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people [Repeat]

Can't you feel it all over
Come on let's feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
Everybody, all over people

Master Blaster (Jammin') (04:49)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
Everyone's feelin' pretty
Its hotter than July
Tho' the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us
Even if they tried

From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonite there'll be a party
On the corner, at the end of the block

(chorus)
Didnt know you
Would be jammin it
'Til the break of dawn
See nobody ever told me
That you would be jammin' it
'Til the break of dawn
We'll be jammin' it,
Jammin' it, jammin' it
Jam on

*instrumental breakdown*

They want us to join the fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze, through our fingers slip away

Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World's right on the One
Now's the time for celebration
'Cause we've only just begun

(chorus)
*add refrain;
We're in the middle
of the making of the master blaster, jammin

You ask me; "Am I happy?"
Well, as matter of fact,
I can say that I'm ecstatic
'Cause we've all just made a pact

We've agreed to get together
And join as children in JAH
When you're movin' in the positve
Your destination is the brightest star

chorus

I bet you if someone approached you yesterday
to tell you that you would be jammin'
you would not believe it
cause you never thougt that you would be jammin'

Happy Birthday (05:54)
Stevie Wonder • The Very Best of Stevie Wonder
You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
'Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
What could fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world

The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...
We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so
