You've Got It Bad Girl lyrics

Song information

Artist: Stevie Wonder

Lyrics

When you believe in a feeling
And it's holding you back from my love
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

When you insist on excluding
The tenderness that's in my kiss
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

If you try to display an emotion
That will contradict itself
You will find your heart just sitting
Like a statue on a shelf, on a shelf, on a shelf

Should you depend on an outlet
Through which an escape can be found
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

If you don't see there's no way out
Just no way of getting around me
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

Yes, you know the plans I am making
Are intended to capture you
So you practice false reactions
To delay the things I do, the things I do
Things I do, foolish you
You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad

There's no reward in detouring
My deep sincerity
Especially since what you're feeling
Is perfectly clear to me, clear to me, clear to me

Before you discover the feeling
You've tried very hard to hide
You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

But when you can find just a small space
To let my love live in your mind
Then you'll have it good girl, you'll have it good girl
