Stevie Wonder - Ms. & Mr. Little Ones lyrics

rate me

What is that that you're looking through

a pornographic magazine?

When I bet you don't even know how to

spell the word

And you say you don't leave home unless

you're strapped

With your uzi sub machine

When you've just barely come into this world

Well, if a child's ways and actions

Reflect what they hear and see

Guess the only ones to blame are you and me

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Look what's happened to our world

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

We're so sorry

The only chance for a better one

Is up to you and he

Please! Forgive us for what we've done

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

What kind of name is that you're calling her

I've heard that word before

But I don't think any parent would give their

daughter a name so low

And about this extra paraphernalia

You say you're carrying to get high

That won't take you anywhere you want to go

Well, you don't have to listen

Cause it's here for you to see

So many burnt out lives trapped in their misery

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Look what's happened to our world

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

We're so sorry

The only chance for a better one

Is up to you and he

Please! Forgive us for what we've done

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Oh, I could rattle on about the good old days

And how life used to be

And even inwardly relive them vividly

But the best advice I can give to you

Is that we only go around one time

Treat each day like this is it

And give it the best you can

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Look what's happened to our world

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

We're so sorry

The only chance for a better one

Is up to you and he

Please! Forgive us for what we've done

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Look what's happened to our world

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

We're so sorry

There's so much we should and should

have never done

That's why we're beggin' on our knees

Please! Forgive us for what we've done

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones

Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
