Stevie Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a fool, I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooh, baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours, mmm
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Ooh, baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours, ah
Here I am, baby
Oh (Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours, babe)
You've got my future in your hand
I, here I am, baby
I (Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours, babe)
You've got my future in your hand, hey
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, didn't I? Oh, baby
Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touched them, they meant nothing, girl
Ooh, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered
I'm yours, oh, I'm yours
Ooh-wee babe, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you are my only desire
Ooh, baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered
I'm yours
Here I am, baby
Oh (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, yeah)
You've got my future in your hands, baby, ah
Here I am, baby
Ah (signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)
You've got my future in your hands, baby, yeah
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man, but here I ah
With your future, got your future, babe, I (here I am, baby)
Here I am, baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, yeah)
Here I am, baby (here I am, baby)
signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, yeah (get it, get it, get it)
Here I am, baby (here, I am baby)
Hey, hey, hey (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, yeah)
