  • When you believe in a feeling
    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 'round me
    Then you've got it bad, girl
    You've got it bad, girl

    Yes, you know the plans I'm 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, hey

    You've got it bad, girl (you've got it bad)
    You've got it bad, girl (you've got it bad, girl)
    Mmm, hmm, yeah, yeah
    You've got it bad, girl (you've got it bad)
    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
    Then 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
    You'll have it good, girl
    You'll have it good, girl
    You'll have it good, you'll have it good
    You'll have it good, you'll have it good, girl
    You'll have it good, girl
    You'll have it good, girl
    Good, you'll have it good, have it good, you'll have it good Writer/s: Stevie Wonder, Syreeta Wright
