1...DID I HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME?... by Stevie Wonder
Intro
Aah...
Verse 1
Did I hear you say you love me?
Well baby, I've got to know.
'Cos if you really feel you love me,
You've got to do things to show.
Don't give me the wrong impression,
By showing me warm ex-pressions.
Put me in the right direction,
With tender love and af-fection.
Chorus 1
I've been standing on the outside,
Trying to get on the inside.
Verse 2
Did I hear you say you need me?
Well baby, tell me the truth.
'Cos if you really feel you need me,
My sweetness, here's what I'll do;
Cut out all my crazy playing,
'Cos for your love I have been laying.
Just tell me that is what you're saying,
And I'll be yours without delaying.
Chorus 2
I've been standing on the outside,
Trying to get on the inside.

Well, if you love me, honey, let me hear you say; (I love you).
Interlude
Verse 3
Did I hear you say you want me?
Now please don't give me no mess.
'Cos if you really, really want me,
You've got to give me your best.
Put my love life right in the pocket,
And dare someone to try to top it.
And when you think I want to drop it;
Just love me 'till I beg don't stop it.
Chorus 3
I've been standing on the outside,
Trying to get on the inside.

And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you want me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me, let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me, let me hear you say; (I love you).

Everyone's feeling pretty,
It's hotter than July.
Though 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.
Tonight there will be a party,
On the corner at the end of the block.

Would be jammin' until the break of dawn.

They want us to join their fighting,
But our answer today;

Third World's right on the one.
Now's the time for celebration;
'Cos we've only just beg-un.

You ask me am I happy?
Well, as matter of fact.

Your desti-nation is the brightest star.

I bet you if someone approached you, yesterday,
To tell you that you would be jammin';

Never thought that you would be jammin'.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh...
You may just be feeling, what you are feeling;
Be-cause you feel your body jammin'.

You know it doesn't make much sense,
There ought to be a law against;
Any-one who takes offense,
At a, day in your celebration.
'Cos 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.

Than to have a world party, on the day you came to be?

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birth-day.
Verse 2
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 be-cause some cannot see,
The dream as clear as he.
That they, should make it be-come an illusion.
Bridge 2
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 birth-day.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birth-day.

Where peace is celebrated, all through-out the wo-rld?

The time is overdue,
For peo-ple like me and you,
Who know the way to truth;
Is love and unity to all God's children.
It should 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.
