*from 'Hotter than July' (1980)*
Intro:
(n.C)
 Aah...
E  A7 (x6)
Verse 1:
Did I hear you say you love me?
Well baby I've got to know.
'Cos if you really feel you love me
You've got to do things to show.
Don't give me the wrong impression
By showing me warm ex-pressions.
Put me in the right direction
With tender love and af-fection.
Chorus 1:
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside.
Verse 2:
Did I hear you say you need me?
Well baby tell me the truth.
'Cos if you really feel you need me
My sweetness here's what I'll do;
Cut out all my crazy playing
'Cos for your love I have been laying.
Just tell me that is what you're saying
And I'll be yours without delaying.
Chorus 2:
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside.
Bridge 1:
'Cos if you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
Interlude:
E  A7 (x2)
Verse 3:
Did I hear you say you want me?
Now please don't give me no mess.
'Cos if you really really want me
You've got to give me your best.
Put my love life right in the pocket
And dare someone to try to top it.
And when you think I want to drop it;
Just love me 'till I beg don't stop it.
Chorus 3:
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside.
Bridge 2:
Girl if you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me honey let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you want me let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you love me let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me let me hear you say; (I love you).
If you want me let me hear you say; (I love you).
And if you need me let me hear you say; (I love you).

Think of how ex-citing it would be
If you should dis-cover you feel like me.

Verse 1:
Everyone's feeling pretty   
It's hotter than July.
Though the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us even if they tried.
From the park I hear rhythms;   
Marley's hot on the box.
Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block.
Chorus 1:              
Didn't know you; would be jammin' until the break of dawn.
I bet nobody ever told you that you;
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn.
You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin'; jam on.

'Cos we've only just beg-un.

8...CASH IN YOUR FACE... by Stevie Wonder
------------------------.................               
*from 'Hotter than July' (1980)*
Intro:
D9  G (x8)
Verse 1:
 You just could not know how long we tried
To see how this building looks inside.
This must be a lucky day for me
Because the sign says there's a vacancy.
Bridge 1:
Look I know you came a long way but you made it just too late;
So we had to give it to some-body else.
Well I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago;
And you told me that it was cool.
Verse 2:
I graduated from Harvard U.
My job is paying good money too.
And if you check on my resume;
You'll find they all wanted me to stay.
Bridge 2:
Well I can't take the time out to check your credit card
'Cos the com-puter just broke down to-day.
Well I'll stop by here tomorrow to com-plete our interview
But I know what you're gonna say. I know what your bottom line is;
Chorus 1:                   
You might have the cash but you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.       
You might have the cash but you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.       
Break:
Too-oo too-oo... too  bad.   
Too-oo too-oo.. too sad.
Interlude:
      (x2)
Verse 3:
Our first child is due here any day;
That's why we're desperate for a place to stay.
The lo-cation is so perfect too
So please try to do what you can do.
Bridge 3:
Well in this apartment complex no children are allowed;
And if you told me that I could have saved you a-lot of time.
Well I thought the Bill was passed that said you could not discriminate?
But I know some ex-cuse you'll find. Because your bottom line is;
Chorus 2:
You might have the cash but you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.       
Say you might have the cash but you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.       
Coda:
Aye you might be a great doctor    
You might be a great lawyer.    
You might possess the key to the city
Or maybe a poli-tician.    
You might have the cash
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.       
Say; you might have the cash
But you cannot cash in your face;
We don't want you living in here.

Intro:
       
Verse 1:
Lately I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find.
Dm                  Dm/maj
 Yet the thought of losing you's
Been hanging 'round my mind.

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go.
But when I ask; will you be coming coming back soon?
You don't know never know.
Chorus 1:
Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses;

I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name.

You just say; nothing's changed.

Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses;
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide;

10...HAPPY BIRTHDAY... by Stevie Wonder
----------------------.................
*from 'Hotter than July' (1980)*
Intro:
  /   # #        / (x2)
Verse 1:
You know it doesn't make much sense     
There ought to be a law against;    
Any-one who takes offense    
At a day in your celebration.
'Cos we all know in our minds     
That there ought to be a time    
That we can set aside;    
To show just how much we love you.
Bridge 1:
And I'm sure you would agree; what could fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be?
Chorus 1:
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birth-day.
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birth-day.
Verse 2:
I just never understood     
How a man who died for good    
Could not have a day that would    
Be set aside for his recognition.
Because it should never be     
Just be-cause some cannot see    
The dream as clear as he.    
That they should make it be-come an illusion.
Bridge 2:
And we all know everything that he stood for time will bring.
For in peace our hearts will sing; thanks to Martin Luther King.
Chorus 2:
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birth-day.
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birthday to you     
Happy birth-day.
Middle 8:
Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated all through-out the wo-rld?
Verse 3:
The time is overdue     
For peo-ple like me and you    
Who know the way to truth;     
Is love and unity to all God's children.
It should be a great event     
And the whole day should be spent    
In full remembrance    
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people.
Bridge 3:
So let us all begin we know that love can win.
Let it out; don't hold it in sing it loud as you can...
*KEY CHANGE*                     
------------

Happy birthday to you       
Happy birth-day.
Chorus 4:              
Happy birthday to you       
Happy birthday to you       
Happy birth-day.
Happy birthday to you       
Happy birthday to you       
Happy birth-day.
Coda:
Ha...ppy birthday.
Happy birth-day happy birth-day... (Ooh yeah).
Ha...ppy birthday.
Happy birth-day happy birth-day... (Ooh yeah).
(Spoken):              
We know the key to unity of all people
Is in the dream that you had so long a-go
That lives in all of the hearts of people       
That believe in unity.
We'll make the dream become a reality;
I know we will because our hearts tell us so.   
Outro:
Ha...ppy birthday.
Happy birth-day happy birth-day...  
Ha...ppy birthday.
Happy birth-day happy birth-day...
