I Wanna Talk to You Songtext
von Stevie Wonder

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Lord, Lordy, Lordy

Standing here on my own side
Waitin′ fo' the floor
Your world′s movin' fast
But still ends up a bore
Come on give me a little room now
Do you have to take it all?
Yeah that's the way it is I guess
When you′re born with nothin′ at all

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy, don't feel my world′s untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true if you do what I tell you to
I wanna talk to you


Pick up my life at the table
Read about the way I could be
But I know I just ain't able
So I read about the real me
Who can I blame
For the way I am?
I ain′t never had one soul to help me
So I don't give a...

Uh, uh, uh
Watch that boy, watch that
I heard you thinkin′
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, boy I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
But you gotta find out what to do
I wanna talk to you sonny boy

I got a woman that love me
Feed me beans every night
Twelve babies look up at me
With big grey hungry eyes
Oh, but I just can′t complain
You see you said I ain′t allowed
Oh, but pretty soon will come a change
When I gain the biggest mouth


Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Don't feel my world′s untrue
Yeah boy, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I'm a show you what to do
I wanna talk to you

Hey don′t wanna talk to you
What you mean by that boy?
I don't wanna talk to you
I recognize you as being a human being
I′ve been listening to you for 250 thousand years
I called you Steve when you were amongst my friends
Don't wanna talk to you (I wanna talk to you)

Too late
Now boy
Too late I can't wait (now)
Don′t wanna talk to you

You can have supper with me next week
Don′t wanna talk to you, no
Understand me
You can't tell me nothin′ white man
Try to understand yourself, you hear what I'm sayin′?
Oh I don't wanna say a word to you
Do you understand me?
No, I don′t hear you

I don't wanna talk
Too late
No, I ain't
Can′t wait
Yes, you can
Don′t wanna talk to you
Ah Stevie boy
Don't need you for nothin′

Come on Stevie let's talk now
Don′t wanna talk to you
You know I'm your friend, hey
I′m gonna take my share
N-n-no Stevie, you can't do that
I don't wanna talk to you
Un-un-understand me now

Yeah it′s too late (you′s my brother)
Can't wait
I don′t care about your sake
I don't wanna talk to you
I guess I can′t say n-n-nothing to you

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
No, no, no, no, no
