[Verse 1]
Lady love and lady cared
But lady went away
And left me all alone to suffer
And now I feel it's not fair
For me to fall in love
The truth is the real me you must uncover

[Chorus]
Seems so long, since I've heard the sound
It's been so long, since I've trusted in someone else
Had to see it all for myself
It's been so long, that the world seems cold
But I think it's time in my life to find myself again

[Verse 2]
Lady loved and lady stayed
Until she was too pleased
She knew I wouldn't leave for her to suffer
I'd never make her suffer
Now I believe you're just like me
In that you understand
You want me for your man to always love me

[Chorus]
You can believe it seems so long, since I've touched a wanting hand
Oh, it seems so long since I've trusted in someone else
Had to see this world for myself
And it's been so long, that the world seems cold
Now I think I've found someone to make trust in someone again
I believe that I can trust in you

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.
