...YOU VE GOT IT BAD GIRL... by Stevie Wonder
----------------------------.................
*from Talking Book (1972)*
Verse 1:
When you be-lieve in a feeling,
That s hold-ing you back from my love;
Then you ve got it bad girl, you ve got it bad, girl.
Verse 2:
When you in-sist on ex -cluding,
The ten-der-ness that s in my kiss;
Then you ve got it bad girl, you ve got it bad, girl.
Chorus 1:
If you try to display an e-motion,
That will contradict it-self,
You will find your heart just sitting,
Like a statue on a shelf, on a shelf, on a shelf.
Verse 3:
Should you de -pend on an outlet,
Through which an es -cape can be found;
Then you ve got it bad, girl, you ve got it bad, girl.
Verse 4:
If you don t see there s no way out,
Just no way of getting a-round me;
Then you ve got it bad, girl, you ve got it bad, girl.
Chorus 2:
Yes, you know the plans I am making,
Are in-tended to capture you.
So you practice false re-actions,
To delay the things I do, the things I do, things I do.
Verse 5:
You ve got it bad, girl, you ve got it bad.
Chorus 3:
There s no reward in de-touring, my deep sinceri-ty.
Especially since what you re feeling,
Is perfectly clear to me, clear to me, clear to me.
Verse 6:
Be-fore you dis-co-ver the feeling,
You ve tried ve -ry ha -rd to hide,
You ve got it bad, girl, you ve got it bad, girl.
Verse 7:
But when you can find just a small space,
To let my love live in your mind,
Then you ll have it good, girl, you ll have it good, girl.
Then you ll have it good, girl, you ll have it good girl.
(Repeat to Fade)
