[Verse]
You can bet you're sweeter than ever
And your love is making it better
I can feel it in my bones
Ooh, each time we're alone
I live in ecstasy
And my soul refuses sleep
'Cause joy, joy, joy takes over me
Through thick and thin I'll stay
Loving you always
Yes, I need you, mama
To take the heartaches away
I know the sun's gon' shine
As long as you're mine
'Cause joy, joy, joy, joy I feel inside

[Bridge]
Oh, oh yeah, oh

Your love's potion
Gives me the notion
To shout out loud, oh baby, baby, baby, baby
Like a spinning top
I can't stop
Ooh, loving you
You know Stevie loves you
Needs you baby, oh ah

[Harmonica solo]

[Outro]
Oh, you know my love is meant to live
And until the end
And I do believe, girl
You were meant for me
'Cause I live in ecstasy
And my soul refuses sleep
'Cause joy takes over me
Ooh baby joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy joy joy joy joy joy
The way you love me, joy, baby
Takes over me
Oh, the way you love me
The way you need me
Baby, please don't leave me
I get joy, ah, woo
Joy, ah, joy, ah, hey

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.
