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 [Chorus] When you believe in things That you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition aint the way Hey [Verse 2] 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 the soul [Chorus] When you believe in things That you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, Yeh, yeh 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 |

You haven't done nothing
Lyrics and music by Stevie Wonder We are amazed but not amused By all the things you say that you'll do Though much concerned but not involved With decisions that are made by you But we are sick and tired of hearing your song Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views "You haven't done nothing"! It's not too cool to be ridiculed But you brought this upon yourself The world is tired of pacifiers We want the truth and nothing else And we are sick and tired of hearing your song Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views "You haven't done nothing"! Jackson 5 join along with me say Doo doo wop - hey hey hey Doo doo wop - wow wow wow Doo doo wop - co co co Doo doo wop - naw naw naw Doo doo wop - bum bum bum Doo doo wop We would not care to wake up to the nightmare That's becoming real life But when mislead who knows a person's mind Can turn as cold as ice un hum Why do you keep on making us hear your song Telling us how you are changing right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views "You haven't done nothing"! Yeah Jackson 5 sing along again say Doo doo wop Doo doo wop - oh Doo doo wop - co co co Doo doo wop - sing it baby Doo doo wop - bum bum bum Doo doo wop - um Sing it loud for your people say Doo doo wop - um um um Doo doo wop - stand up be counted, say Doo doo wop - co co co Doo doo wop - ow Doo doo wop - bum bum bum Doo doo wop - ah hum |

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...ee ha! 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... yeah! 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...um hum 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 colored people Living just enough, just enough for the city... Living just enough... For the city... ooh, ooh (Repeat several times) 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!!!! La, La, La, La, La, La, Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da (Repeat to end) |

I am a veteran of the war
I up and joined the army back in 1964 At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off I recall a quote from a movie that said "who's more a man Than a man with a reason that's worth dyin' for" They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill They put a gun in my hand and said, "shoot until he's dead" But it's hard to kill when 'please your friend' echoes through your head Brought up in church taught no man should take another's life But then put in a jungle where life has no price They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead Back in the world the paper reads today Another war is in the brewing But what about the lives of yesterday And the many happy families that have been ruined My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do They laugh and say "quit bragging" 'bout the war you should never have been in But my mind is so brain-washed I'd prob'bly go back and do it again I walk the neighborhood parading my purple heart With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead [Repeat 2 times...fade out] |

Send her your love
With a dozen roses Make sure that she knows it With a flower from your heart Show him your love Don′t hold back your feelings You don′t need a reason When its straight from the heart I′ve heard so many say that the days of romance are no more And people falling in love is so old fashioned But waiting are they the day they once let slip away Hiding need to fulfill their heart′s desire for love′s passion Send her your love With a dozen roses Make sure that she knows it With a flower from your heart Show him your love Don′t hold back your feelings You don′t need a reason When its straight from the heart I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal And can only happen in make believe stories But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see For around us are miracles of love′s glory Show him your love Don′t hold back your feelings You don′t need a reason When its coming from your heart |

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart I feel like this is the beginning, Though I've loved you for a million years, And if I thought our love was ending, I'd find myself drowning in my own tears You are the sunshine of my life, That's why I'll always stay around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart You must have known that I was lonely, Because you came to my rescue, And I know that this must be heaven, How could so much love be inside of you? You are the sunshine of my life, yeah, That's why I'll always stay around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart [Background] Love has joined us, Love has joined us, Let's think sweet love |

Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way To share with me this special day Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love If allowed may I touch your hand And if pleased may I once again So that you too will understand There's a ribbon in the sky for our love Do...Do... Do Do Do Do Do... HMM HMM... This is not a coincidence And far more than a lucky chance But what is that was always meant Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love We can't lose with God on our side We'll find strength in each tear we cry From now on it will be you and I And our ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky A ribbon in the sky for our love Do...Do... Do Do Do Do Do... HMM HMM... [Musical Break] There's a ribbon in the sky for our love |
