Wonder, Stevie - You've Got It Bad Girl 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
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

Wonder, Stevie You've Got It Bad Girl Comments
Classic song always remembered 👍😊
I see ya pretty
joey bada$$ - Funky Ho
One of my favorites from the genius! <3
After Over 47 years, and we are still talking about how great this song is.... I read some of the comments... 11 years ago...9 years ago.... 6 years ago.... They all pay tribute to the greatest and mystery of the song and the artist. I think the greatest testimony is that through time people love and adore this song and it's genius and have to continue to talk about it because it is so wonderful. I first heard it in the mid-80s as a young college student and I fell in love with it immediately. I still listen to it to this very day. Thank you Stevie Wonder for your amazing talent and artistry.
Stevie's music TIMELESS not restricted by convention
B-side to 'Superstition'...reminds me so much of 'Superwoman'!
I know a couple of girls who got it bad to this song. There is almost no human activity that is not improved by this version of this song. I would absolutely crank this at 80 mph on the scoot.
I want to personally hurt the idiots who disliked this.
I have Always Loved All of Stevie Wonder's songs. The Last verse was Always my favorite. So SMOOTH.
OG version Usher holds no candle
Dear God..Usher remade this?!...smh. Haven't heard it & don't plan on finding it.
@S D sry. I meant he used the same name. My apologies.
@John Harris Oh ok...thanks for the clarification :-)
Thanks to Stevie and the Tonto today's music has synths and synth layering he was not just creating new music but discovering new sounds and how to use them.....
The downward progressions in this song are genius!
Brailliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jac b quk Stevie Wonder is a Artistic Masterpiece
This song has a certain atmosphere that only Stevie can pull off. Reminds me of the track I Can't Help It, the track he worked on for Michael Jackson's best album.
Best enjoyment of music is an organic process, this album, along with What's Going on and Back to the World, can only be fully appreciated if you experienced the contemporary social conditions, consciousness and objective reality interact with sounds and words to provide a kind of metaphysical transcript for our unfolding lives.
Oh my God.
Stevie Wonder is a icon.
He’s incredible!!!!!!!!!
*Is there no end to this man's talent?!* Damn!
Wow! I was like 6 years old. sleeping over my cousins, the adults would be
partying and smokin herb in the other room. Stevie Wonder was a part of my
childhood. A memorable song or two, or 8 for every decade in my life!
A top man , would'nt expect anything less
The chords are the definition of ugly/beautiful to me.
Early S.Wondee is Savage!
What an astonishing song. I bought this album back in 1975 after I was blown away by Innervisions and wanted more of his music.
He is a genius as the song is so simple yet somehow sounds complex in terms of what it conveys.
Very cool song with a ethereal quality that's hard too pull off without sounding weird. Got all or most of his albums in twenties. Though l loved all his hits on AM in the sixties, l almost had to study this type of 70's music. Was not played by my contemporaries. Also, loved Creeping with Minnie Riperton, same type of vibe. You got it it good girl! Great ending to a great song.....
Also the end is you'll have it good girl. Very seductive, do u think she'll give in?
Mr. Rawls, your dad was one hell of an artist. Must have been a real honor having Mr. Wonder pay tribute to your dad and his legacy with this song.
Very nice.....
My favorite by this genius!
In my collection.
Talking Book is the 1972 album this track comes from, Stevie after having played most of the instruments on this album could do no wrong at this stage, he was reaching genius status as an artist
Co-composed with Yvonne Bright
Stevie Wonder?...the most significant singer in history, period...The Album cover and song gives me chills, and I'm overcome with this very pleasant & sexy emotions, just wow!...
Saginaw, Michigan Summer Of 95' enough said.
This man is the definition of the word genius I thank God for creating Mr stevland Morris !!!.
beautiful song of 1972 thank you,Mister Stevie wonder
It was the sounds of the Arp and Moog synthesizers that are the best classics and the inspiration for my sounds. God bless you Stevie Wonder. Let's not forget the sound of the Rhodes.
Listening to Stevie Wonder as a kid most of all his music is original. And so on point. He got hella albums and all of them is powerful words. Sends messeges as well.
It's 2019 and I ask, does it much better than this? NO!
When Stevie started having more creative control over his music this is what you get....👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Stevie is is a musical prophet!! ,He literally put out masterpiece after masterpiece ! I thank God for creating stevland Morris.
The mans sight in music cannot be compared
My fav of his!
I don't care. I catalogued this as a jazz song. Totally outstanding!
Mr.Gene Dunlap did a great cover.... YESSSS thank you Mr. Stevie Wonder.....I got it bad over this song!!!💋👑💃💛🎼🎵🎺🎤🎷🎸🎻🎺🎹
Stevie KNEW
The meaning of perfect= ST EVIE WONDER full
Man...This sounds so fresh, it could have been released in 2020! 😎 Yeah..it's that bad!
Jazz pop music
That baseline....30years ahead of its time!
One of my favorite songs from Stevie!
I'm constantly losing track of amazing SW tracks, there are just too many of them.
Superb song using early Moog & ARP sounds. Simple beautiful and complex. I never get tired of this classic.
One of the most harmonically complex songs in Popular Music. Such a superior musicianship. What a masterpiece!
Wait...this was 47 years ago? SW is a genius.
You just stopped me in my tracks, how time fly's... I remember when the Album "Talking Book" came out...as soon as I heard it, I went to buy it...Wow! Stevie Wonder is amazing..
He was only 22 years old
Blows my mind every single time.
Amazing songwriting.
There it is !!!! Thank you so much 💙
Love this iteration of SW.
One of the baddest, coldest, smoothest, sexiest songs ever written, produced, recorded and released!!!
Have this on vinyl and 8 track.. totally Amazing music. Great to hear.
the siging conga gives me life
Mom played this many times.
Mom used to play him out back in the day. Appreciation.
I don’t even post comments but I had to make an exception because this has become my favorite song of All Time
Thank you for such timeless, beautiful music Stevie Wonder
Takes me around the world & back, simply the best!!!!!!
Words just cant explain how much i love this song!!!
Shawn Pimpin, me too...every time I hear this song, I'm overcome with every good, & sexy emotion there is.
When you believe in filling
that moldy thing between her legs
you've got a bad girl
I YAM WHITE I’m physically dying!!!!
Truly great music is timeless and this is good example. I bought this album the day it was released in 1972 and it still sounds like it was made yesterday. Also, I am normally of the opinion that, in most cases, the original versions are the definitive ones. However this superb version by Stevie tops Quincy's orginal by a long way.
Ma always played this song when she bought this album.
Amazing sound love this but I don't know why I keep thinking about basketball every time I hear this song .
Damn....there's n onthin like this forever....DONT SLEEP....THE TRILL NEVER DIES.....
Pure Perfection!
Beautiful tune! One of Stevie's best
This album I heard back in '72 when ma bought it and played it. One Great Album a must have.
Mr wonder is music it self, God bless him!!
I wouldn't be surprised if he freestyled the vocals for a demo reference and it came out so dope that they just kept it as is...lightning in a bottle! !
Willie Boyland ironically there is a demo of this song that literally sounds like what you described, definitely check it out!
Reminds me of when i was a child and my Mom cleaning the house while i was running around the house. The 70s were good times!
That was a BADDDDDDDDDD cut.
I just love Stevie Wonder I grew up to a lot of his music. I think he is the GREATEST.
I love this song so much Stevie is the GREATEST their is, untouchable
Stevie W, is in a class all by himself when it comes to arranging lyrics. This guy is incredibly magical with the power of words. It's so rhythmical and so so soothing! You go Stevie W!
I am a white chick........love love stevie and lou
OMG...you are Lou Rawls Jr. love love Lou Rawls.....right up there with Stevie wonder
I've got it bad!!💖💘💝💞
iconic album , we all know that. what u all don't know is that " songs in the key of life" is greatest of them all.
that song is so much true and very wise
Let me put this way: Songs in the key of life - the most versatile, Fullfilingness first finale - the smoothest and flawless, Music of my mind - the freshest and groundbearking, Talking book - deep and thick like a classic romance book
What about Inner visions
Romance good or bad..... You got it bad girl, looking for a new love,maybe your baby and sad but not saddest , blame it on the sun...... Bad sad and lonely.... If it wasn't for you and I I would have thrown the record away
I like songs; Sunshine of my Life, YGIBG& Superstition from this album.
Like most people, y'all overlook The Secret Life Of Plants, a concept album of incredible musical genius.
Thing about Stevie is his inner urge to communicate musically always his consumate understanding of Melody lyric Harmony and rythum all these phases of music
The best
A real song with words and meanings not like this made up crap you here today I love Stevie music🤗🤗
I was there in 72'. Superwomen was requested 3 times a night at "The Riot" in Niles. IL.
Never did a lead.
My dad had this album and i vividly remember it having braille inside it and how amazed me!!
I had this album, gave it to my son who lost it, and, yes, the braille was awesome. Stevie has always been way ahead of his time. A true maestro....
You said it Carl.. Very much ahead of his time!!
Yes!!!!
First time hearing Stevie's version. I don't know if I like this one more than the Brothers Johnson's cover. They're both smooth....
are you sure the brother's johnson did a cover of this song? I'm looking for it and I can't find it.
LA LH I think it's the Quincy jones version
ah,the Arp Odyssey and Moog synths.Great sound and performed as only Stevie can
I love this song
Great great great record....Stevie at his finest!!!!!!!
how can anyone dislike a stevie song? he's brilliant
Absolutely!
Boggles the mind!!
Must be an alien. No human can have the knowledge to make this song!!!
My thoughts exactly!!! Stevie is a bad man!!! I love his music!!! Whoever doesn't like this man's music has no soul or heart in them at all!!!
I Got It Real Bad!
Another masterpiece. Honestly, this sounds like excellent jazz.
Jazz artists have taken an interest in this Stevie tune, for example check out saxophonist Hank Crawford's eloquent version.
There's nobody I know that can comprehend how Stevie Wonder came up with such an obscurely perfect song. Utterly exquisite!
