Hallelujah
Stevie Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She's my baby and she lives next door
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up
She brings my coffee in my favorite cup

That's why I know, yeah, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friends
I know she'll stick with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say she told me so

That's why I know, yeah, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

When I call her on the telephone
Tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
And there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And whispers, "Stevie every thing is all right"

That's why I know, yeah, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Yeah, when I call her on the telephone
Tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
And there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And whispers, "Stevie every thing is all right"

That's why I know, yeah, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Hallelujah, I just love her so
She is mine and I just love her so
She's so fine and I just love her so
She is mine, love her so
Yeah she's mine, I love her so




Hey, hallelujah, I just love her so
Fine, she's fine, she's fine
