Stevie Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the girl with the diamonds and the shoes? yeah
She walks around like she's got nothin' to lose
Yes she's a go-getter, she's everybody's type
She's a queen of the city but she don't believe the hype
She's got her own elevation, holy motivation
'Til I wrote some letters on big bold signs

I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith

See the boy with the Stevie Wonder swag?
Ain't gotta cup all the magic that he has
He's a go-getter, he's everybody's type
I'mma make it my mission, make him feel alright
He's a twelve on a ten point, rockin' out to his joint
Just say the word 'cause I can sing all night

I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow (love you somehow)
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith

Faith, yeah
Yes I do, mmm
I get it runnin' and my mind goes crazy
I think about you mornin', noon, night and day
I get it runnin' and my mind goes crazy
I think about you mornin', noon, night and day
I get it runnin' and my mind goes crazy
I think about you mornin', noon, night and day
I got faith in you honey, I got faith in you girl
I met you, hallelujah

I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow (love you somehow)
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith (faith, faith, baby)
I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow (yes I do)




I met you, hallelujah, I met you, hallelujah
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith

When I'm really scared about the day when young people will ask "Stevie who?"

I was born in 1990, so he's not even from my generation, but that dude is such a legend. A musical genius.

I dearly hope that the newer generations won't solely focus on artists of their time but also people from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's. Hell, even great stuff from the 30's/40's/50's even! Classical music. You know, music from "before".

I've noticed over the past couple of years that a lot of teenagers never ever listen to stuff that came out before they were born or in age to listen that what they "wanted".

Don't do that. Expand. Music is such a magnificient thing, explore, discover. Don't remain in one genre, try out Blues, Jazz, Rock, Soul, R'n'B, Classical, etc.
