Skeletons Skeletons 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 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 you 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...

Cause we all play a part in each other's existence Take the time out to love someone Reach your arms out and hug someone Be it king or some homeless one We are all one underneath the sun Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone There's a man in a house where they're selling crack Yet he's trying to be strong But when lost in the sea, of no hope He must be saved from wrong Don't say what you won't do, if for days You had no food to eat Nor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoes Or if your baby needed heat You do not have the right to pre-judge If you don't share your strength And you can't say you're down for the fight If you won't go the length Now I don't really care what you feel If you don't feel for life And don't care what you think if your words Don't have ways and actions that perpetuate life Take the time out to love someone Reach your arms out and hug someone Be it king or some homeless one We are all one underneath the sun Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone I think it's time to Take the time out to love someone Reach your arms out and hug someone Be it king or some homeless one We are all one underneath the sun Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone...

The Secret Life Of Plants The Secret Life Of Plants I can't conceive the nucleus of all Begins inside a tiny seed And what we think as insignificant Provides the purest air we breathe But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being For these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants A species smaller than the eye can see Or larger than most living things And yet we take from it without consent Our shelter, food, habilment But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being For these are but a few discoveries Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants But far too many give them in return A stomp, cut, drown, or burn As is they're nothing But if you ask yourself where would you be Without them you will find you would not And some believe antennas are their leaves That spans beyond our galaxy They've been, they are and probably will be Who are the mediocrity But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being For these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants For these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants...

The Shadow Of Your Smile The Shadow Of Your Smile The shadow of your smile when you are gone Will color all my dreams and light the dawn Look into my eyes, my love, and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star was far too high A teardrop kissed your lips andd so did I Now when I remember spring All the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The Shadow of your smile...

These Three Words These Three Words When was the last time That they heard you say Mother or father, I love you And when was the last time That they heard you say Daughter or son, I love you Ones you say you cherish everyday Can instantly be taken away Then you'd say I know this can't be true When you never took the time To simply tell them "I love you" When was the last time That they heard you say Sister or brother, I love you And when was the last time That they heard you say Darling or best friend, I love you The one for whom you'd give your very life Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye Through you tears you'd ask why did you go Knowing you didn't always show Just how much you loved them so...

They Won't Go When I Go They Won't Go When I Go No more lying friends Wanting tragic ends Though they do pretend They won't go when I go All those bleeding hearts With sorrows to impart Were right here from the start And they won't go when I go And I'll go where I've longed To go so long Away from tears Gone from painful cries Away from saddened eyes Along with him I'll bide Because they won't go when I go Big men feeling small Weak ones standing tall I will watch them fall They won't go when I go And I'll go where I've longed To go so long Away from tears Unclean minds mislead the pure The innocent will leave for sure For them there is a resting place People sinning just for fun They will never see the sun For they can never show their faces There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who will take more than he will give He ain't hardly gonna give The greed of man will be Far away from me And my soul will be free They won't go when I go Since my soul conceived All that I believe The kingdom I will see 'Cause they won't go when I go When I go Where I'll go No one can keep me From my destiny...

Uptight (Everything's Alright) Uptight (Everything's Alright) 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 Since 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 everything 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. She says give her the things that money can buy But I'll 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 everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, everything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah, Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight... Stevie Wonder |
