Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) Lyrics By Stevie Wonder

    mary wants to be a superwoman
    but is that really in her head
    but i just want to live each day to love her
    for what she is
    mary wants to be another movie star
    but is that really in her mind
    and all the things she wants to be
    she needs to leave behind

    but very well i believe i know you very well
    wish that you knew me too very well
    and i think i can deal with everything going through your head
    very well and i think i can be very well
    wish that you knew me too very well
    and i think i can cope with everything going through your head

    mary wants to be a superwoman
    and try to boss the bull around
    but does she really think that she will get by with a dream
    my woman wants to be a superwoman
    and i just had to say goodbye
    because i can’t spend all my hours starting to cry

    but very well i believe i know you very well
    wish that you knew me too very well
    and i think i can deal with everything going through your head
    very well think that i know you very well
    wish you knew me like i know you very well
    but i think i can deal with everything going through your head
    your filthy head

    very well dum dum da dum dum da
    very well wish you knew me too very well
    and i wish i could think of everything going through your head
    very well dum dum da dum da dum da
    dum dum da dum da very well
    and i think i can deal with everything going through your head

    when the summer came you were not around
    now the summer’s gone and love cannot be found
    where were you when i needed you last winter my love
    when the winter came you went further south
    parting from love’s nest leaving me in doubt
    where are you when i need you like right now
    our love is at an end
    but you say now you have changed
    but tomorrow will reflect love’s past
    when the winter came you were not around
    through the bitter winds love could not be found
    where were you when i needed you last winter my love
    oh i need you baby i need you baby

    our love is at an end
    but you say now you have changed
    but tomorrow will reflect love’s past oh
    spring will fill the air you will come around
    is it summer love that will let me down
    where were you when i needed you last winter my love
    la la la la la la la la la la
    la la la la la la la la la la
    where are you when i need you like right now
    right now right now right now

    where were you when i needed you last winter my dear
    i need you baby i need you baby i need you baby
    i need you baby i need you baby i need you baby
    oh where were you when i needed you last winter last winter
    yeah need you baby need you need you baby
    oh you want me to need you baby
    oh where were you when i needed you last dear yeah
