Contract On Love
Stevie Wonder Lyrics

Baby, baby, sign my contract on love
The singer is asking their partner to commit to love by signing a contract.

You say you love me
The singer recognizes that their partner loves them.

And I believe it's true
The singer trusts that their partner's love is genuine.

But before I let myself go
The singer wants to ensure that their partner won't hurt them.

Here's what you've got to do
The singer is asking their partner to sign the contract before they can fully commit to the relationship.

(Sign it, sign it)
The singer emphasizes the importance of having their partner sign the contract.

You've got to sign (you, you, you'd better sign it)
The singer wants their partner to sign the contract to demonstrate their commitment.

My contract on love (you, you, you'd better sign it)
The contract is a commitment to love that the partner must agree to.

Write it in your heart (you, you, you'd better sign it)
The singer wants their partner to truly internalize their commitment.

That you'll never do anything to ever make us part
The partner must promise to never do anything that would end their relationship.

Yeah
An expression of agreement.

I know it may seem strange to you
The singer acknowledges that asking for a signed contract may seem unusual.

But I've lost a love so many times before
The singer has experienced heartbreak in the past and wants to take precautions to prevent it again.

And now that I know the score
The singer is more aware of what they need in a relationship to feel secure.

No one's gonna hurt me no more
The singer is confident that the contract will prevent them from being hurt again.

And I'm takin' all my chances with romances
The singer is willing to keep searching for love and take risks despite past heartbreaks.

So just sign (you, you, you'd better sign it)
The singer reiterates the importance of their partner signing the contract.

Right here on this dotted line (you, you, you'd better sign it)
The singer specifies the exact place for their partner to sign the contract.

Where it says you'll be mine, all mine (you, you, you'd better sign it)
The partner commits to being completely dedicated to the relationship.

Until the end of time
The contract is meant to be a lifelong commitment.

So come on, come on, come on, and
The singer urges their partner to sign the contract.

Sign, yeah (baby, baby, sign my contract on love)
The singer continues to ask their partner to sign the contract.

Sign, right here on this line (baby, baby, sign my contract on love)
The singer specifies the exact place for their partner to sign the contract.

Sign (baby, baby, sign my contract on love)
The singer continues to ask their partner to sign the contract.
