First saw Stevie performing this on TV in 1982, was blown away, and immediately ran to the record store to buy the single before it closed. It's among his best in a peerless career.
+musiclover59 I loved the days of hearing a soul tune for the first time and rushing out to the record shop to buy it. The internet is great for access to music but it can never offer the excitement of rushing out to a record shop with your heart beating fast wanting to get hold of a tune.
When I was growing up, I saw the dynamics of caring & nurturing the man of the house. He was strong & proud of his family, & he treated us very well. He never lied, & was strict in his ways, but I now understand why. Whether you were 8 or 80 you had to be home by midnight, so he could sleep good & peacefully. He never said "I love you", but in his actions he showed us. Everything he did was for us. The family unit. He wanted us ALL to thrive. He he set us off unto the the right path. We spoiled him. We loved him. We respected him. We followed him. Not many men like this today. My Nana was my example, & she was right. She used her love to make him strong & happy. Every Saturday he'd give us money to go to the mall & shop, and after he picked us up with our dog in the car 😂 he'd sit in his chair, and prepare for his fashion show. 😂 He always gave me the most money because I bought quality. (But whatever I got ($$) that was over my Nana, I'd split with her because she rarely bought anything for herself. She was all about others. I have finally found a man very comparable to "Pops" ....He ALWAYS looks after me & I look after him. Life is good.❤ & I could have had this decades ago & didn't realize that I was soooooo STUPID! 😶 God saved the best for last. Like dessert! Praise the Lord above! ❤
and reciprocity means her lover has listened to every word she says. That is why I gonna tell her that I love her and I want her. Hey girl my mind soul and body needs you. {This is what will makes her strong! Okay I gotcha Baby; take care of me taking care of you}
This song is phenomenal. How he achieved that sound is amazing. But I must say it's impossible to pick a favorite. With every other singer or group I can pick my favorite such as Aretha= Respect Ray Charles= What'd I say Beatles = Because. Steely Dan = Hey 19 Elvis = Heartbreak Hotel But Stevie, no can do. There's AS, I WISH, SUPERWOMAN, MASTER BLASTER, THAT GIRL, SEND ONE YOUR LOVE, ISN'T SHE LOVELY, DONT YOU WORRY BOUT A THING, MY CHERIE AMORE, UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME and the list goes on and on and on. They are all #1 in my book. Try to See it My Way. I know you can.
the best part of the hook on this song has always been when he said"ive been hurting for a loing tiiime" that part stuck in my hed for the longest. the tone of the beat and all
WE LISTENED TO THIS ON AM RADIO BACK IN THE DAY..LOVE ME SOME STEVIE..WHEN YOU GREW UP HEARING HIM ALL DAY ON THE RADIO AND NOW NOBODY PLAYS HIM..WE DON"T HEAR HIM ENOUGH TODAY..
Wow, apparently 😂 the man that sent me this song didn’t understand what Stevie was talking about. He makes me laugh. I think he was trying to make me cry or be upset! Love this song!! ❤❤ Thanks VBW! 😂😂😂
in the lyrics - altho i am seeing this 10 years later - is to joy from sad not vice versa, one of my favorite SW songs & almost as much, "Ribbon In The Sky" too.
This had had just come on the station I listened to at the time (FM100 Memphis, TN) as I turned on my stereo so I hit record on the built in reel to reel. On playback the first couple of seconds were garbled then popped on crystal clear. That was the warm up time of the 1 vacuum tube in the whole system, responsible for the recording function. 34 years later still listening to the 1970 JVC-NIVICO 4TR990 Deluxe with the above mentioned tape deck, 4 speed turntable and AM/FM/Shortwave.
In this disco song, the Yamaha GS1 patches “Tub Erupt”, were orchestral stringy synth bells/belly synth orchestral strings and Yamaha GS1 patch “Harmonica” were heard.
SONG OF SONGS 5 Young Man 1I have entered my garden, my treasure, my bride! I gather myrrh with my spices and eat honeycomb with my honey. I drink wine with my milk. Young Women of Jerusalem Oh, lover and beloved, eat and drink! Yes, drink deeply of your love! Young Woman 2I slept, but my heart was awake, when I heard my lover knocking and calling: “Open to me, my treasure, my darling, my dove, my perfect one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.” 3But I responded, “I have taken off my robe. Should I get dressed again? I have washed my feet. Should I get them soiled?” 4My lover tried to unlatch the door, and my heart thrilled within me. 5I jumped up to open the door for my love, and my hands dripped with perfume. My fingers dripped with lovely myrrh as I pulled back the bolt. 6I opened to my lover, but he was gone! My heart sank. I searched for him but could not find him anywhere. I called to him, but there was no reply. 7The night watchmen found me as they made their rounds. They beat and bruised me and stripped off my veil, those watchmen on the walls. 8Make this promise, O women of Jerusalem- If you find my lover, tell him I am weak with love. Young Women of Jerusalem 9Why is your lover better than all others, O woman of rare beauty? What makes your lover so special that we must promise this? Young Woman 10My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others! 11His head is finest gold, his wavy hair is black as a raven. 12His eyes sparkle like doves beside springs of water; they are set like jewels washed in milk. 13His cheeks are like gardens of spices giving off fragrance. His lips are like lilies, perfumed with myrrh. 14His arms are like rounded bars of gold, set with beryl. His body is like bright ivory, glowing with lapis lazuli. 15His legs are like marble pillars set in sockets of finest gold. His posture is stately, like the noble cedars of Lebanon. 16His mouth is sweetness itself; he is desirable in every way. Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend.
Stevie Wonder, the Biggest Genius of Music History.

Awesome !
One of the best songs EVER !!!! love that bass riff
"she doesn't use her love to make him weak. she uses her love to make him strong."
and reciprocity means her lover has listened to every word she says. That is why I gonna tell her that I love her and I want her. Hey girl my mind soul and body needs you. {This is what will makes her strong! Okay I gotcha Baby; take care of me taking care of you}
Aspyn J. That’s a deep line

LyRicS
That girl thinks that she's so fine
That soon she'll have my mind
That girl thinks that she's so smart
That soon she'll have my heart
She thinks in no time flat
That she'll be free and clear to start
With her emotional rescue of love
That you'll leave torn apart
That girl thinks that she's so bad
She'll change my tears to joy from sad
She says she keeps the upper hand
'Cause she can please her man
She doesn't use her love to make him weak
She uses love to keep him strong
And inside me there's no room for doubt
That it won't be too long
Before I tell her that I love her, that I want her
That my mind, soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to, to be in her love
I've been hurting for a long time
You've been playing for a long time
You know it's true
I've been holding for a long time
And you've been running for a long time
It's time to do, oh what we love to do
That girl, that girl, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That girl knows every single man
Would ask her for her hand
But she says her love is much too deep
For them to understand
She says her love has been crying out
But her lover hasn't heard
But what she doesn't realize
Is that I've listened to every word
That's why I know I'll tell her that I love her and I want her
That my mind, soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to, to be in her love
Tell her I love her, that I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to, to be in her love
That I love her, that I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I
Oh that I love her, that I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
I need to do all that I have to, to be in her
That girl, that girl, that girl, oh, that girl
That girl, that girl, that girl

SONG OF SONGS 5
Young Man
1I have entered my garden, my treasure, my bride!
I gather myrrh with my spices
and eat honeycomb with my honey.
I drink wine with my milk.
Young Women of Jerusalem
Oh, lover and beloved, eat and drink!
Yes, drink deeply of your love!
Young Woman
2I slept, but my heart was awake,
when I heard my lover knocking and calling:
“Open to me, my treasure, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3But I responded,
“I have taken off my robe.
Should I get dressed again?
I have washed my feet.
Should I get them soiled?”
4My lover tried to unlatch the door,
and my heart thrilled within me.
5I jumped up to open the door for my love,
and my hands dripped with perfume.
My fingers dripped with lovely myrrh
as I pulled back the bolt.
6I opened to my lover,
but he was gone!
My heart sank.
I searched for him
but could not find him anywhere.
I called to him,
but there was no reply.
7The night watchmen found me
as they made their rounds.
They beat and bruised me
and stripped off my veil,
those watchmen on the walls.
8Make this promise, O women of Jerusalem-
If you find my lover,
tell him I am weak with love.
Young Women of Jerusalem
9Why is your lover better than all others,
O woman of rare beauty?
What makes your lover so special
that we must promise this?
Young Woman
10My lover is dark and dazzling,
better than ten thousand others!
11His head is finest gold,
his wavy hair is black as a raven.
12His eyes sparkle like doves
beside springs of water;
they are set like jewels
washed in milk.
13His cheeks are like gardens of spices
giving off fragrance.
His lips are like lilies,
perfumed with myrrh.
14His arms are like rounded bars of gold,
set with beryl.
His body is like bright ivory,
glowing with lapis lazuli.
15His legs are like marble pillars
set in sockets of finest gold.
His posture is stately,
like the noble cedars of Lebanon.
16His mouth is sweetness itself;
he is desirable in every way.
Such, O women of Jerusalem,
is my lover, my friend.
👏👍🎹🎤
The spitting image of tracy camilla johns.
I'm getting a friendzone vibe from this song, just listen to the lyrics.
