Stevie Wonder - Dark 'N' Lovely Lyrics
There is a place
On earth's motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Womanchild's fate
Is life second rate
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin' to stay alive
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely
The whole planet's watchin'
And the Sun God is watchin', too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin' you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
[Repeat to fade]

A shame the hair care company didn't use his song
I'm listening to this song for the first time but I already love it
Big-up all those dark and lovely people out there doing their best.
maybe the blind have better taste for feeding the ears.

I think you got something here. 😂
The best 1:39
Synth player genius
underated album

I agree!!! This brings back some great memories!!!
I Stevie invented the second chorus
hitomusic people dont like the truth! it is a proven fact that the first people on this earth had dark skin knowledge is power !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Dark 'N' Lovely"
There is a place
On earth's motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate
Womanchild's fate
Is life second rate
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin' to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely
The whole planet's watchin'
And the Sun God is watchin', too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin' you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Just because they're dark 'n' lovely
Dark 'n' lovely Dark 'n' lovely
Too bad you got some lyrics wrong
apartheid in south africa
i just this on soul train
iam go ham off this song, with the dancing
Funny as hell. I went to click the 'Like' button... and it was already permananetly clicked! I do believe my computer is showing the signs of the beginnings of artificial intelligence. Sound volume automatically set ro 'MAX' too. Spooky.
Did he say the "sun god is watching too"?
Junior high........
@hitomusic -- I see what you mean. Rave music can't touch this!! =)
i think this is the most energetic song on the album =)
hard to believe its 25 years old..dayum Im getting old! even tho I was a little kid in the 80s I was listenign to music 24/7. This song reminds me of the hair gel dark&lovely lol. One of the worst gels Ive ever used but catchy name
so true..................: )

I loved when they played this on Soul Train. Watching people dance off of this going down the Soul Train line is a great memory. They were jammin' I love Stevie.
characters was one of my fav. albums from him... and this song brings back memories
A throwback to when R&B music was still worth listening to. Have loved this song from the moment I first heard it in 1987.
Loved this song as a kid and esp on soultrain. They woudl dance thier asses off to this!
It does now.
I had t in LP when i was 8... that was even better!!
