[Verse 1]
Ooh, send me some lovin'
Send it I pray
How can I love you
When you're far away?
Oh, send me your picture, girl
(Send me a picture, baby)
Send it, my dear
(Send me a picture, baby)
So I can hold it
And pretend that you're here

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you send me your kisses, girl?
I can feel their touch
I need you so badly, girl
I miss you so much, oh yeah

[Chorus]
My days are so lonely
(Send me some lovin', baby)
My nights are so blue
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Come on, send me some lovin', lovin', lovin'
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Girl, I'm waiting for you
(Send me some lovin', baby)

[Bridge]
(Won't you send me your kisses)
Send me your kisses, girl
(I can still feel their touch)
I can still feel their touch
(I need you so badly)
Girl, I need so badly
(I miss you so much)
So much, so much

[Chorus]
All my days are so lonely
(Send me some lovin', baby)
My nights are so blue, darlin'
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Send me some lovin', girl
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Don't you know I'm waiting for you
(Send me some lovin', baby)

[Outro]
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Send me some lovin', girl
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Send it to me, send it to me, yeah
(Send me some lovin', baby)
(Send me some lovin', baby)
It's all you gotta do, baby love
(Send me some lovin', baby)

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
