[Verse 1]
I look inside my crystal ball of desire
And know why rapid beats my heart
I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire
Letting me know love wants to start
No more playing around
No more waiting around for the special one to come
No more wearing a frown
No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want
And I want what I know

[Chorus]
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, you're that angel sent from Heaven above
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from Heaven above, for me
(For you and you, for me)
If only I had not waited, I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited, my life would be undone
If only I had not waited, I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you

[Verse 2]
I looked behind and what I sight is the mire
So very lonely was my heart
I look ahead, I hear the sound of the choir
Singing that love will never part
No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down
No more I can't see the sun
No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come
When I know what I want
And I want what I know

[Chorus]
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you
You're that angel sent from Heaven above
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, you're that angel sent from Heaven above, for me
(For you and you, for me)
If only I had not waited, I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited, my life would be undone
If only I had not waited, I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
Oh baby
It's you (Oh)
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you (You)
You're that angel sent from Heaven above
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, it's you and you're that angel sent from Heaven above, for me
(For you and you, for me)
If only I had not waited, I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited, my life would be undone
If only I had not waited, I would have picked the wrong one (Wrong one)
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause baby, it's 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.
