Stevie Wonder (ft. The Jackson 5), “You haven’t done nothin’”

 

We are amazed but not amused / By all the things you say that you’ll do / Though, much concerned but not involved / With decisions that are made by you / But we are sick and tired of hearing your song / Tellin’ how you are gonna change right from wrong / ’Cause if you really want to hear our views / You haven’t done nothin’

It’s not too cool to be ridiculed / But you brought this upon yourself / The world is trying to pacify / We want the truth and nothing else, yeah / And we are sick and tired of hearing your song / Tellin’ how you are gonna change right from wrong / ’Cause if you really want to hear our views / You haven’t done nothin’

Jackson 5 join along with me say / Doo-doo-wop, hey-hey-hey / Doo-doo-wop, whoa-whoa-whoa / Doo-doo-wop, mm-mm-mm / Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh-oh / Doo-doo-wop, bum-bum-bum / Doo-doo-wop

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare / That’s becomin’ real life, mmm / But when misled, who knows a person’s mind / Can turn as cold as ice, mm-hmm / Why do you keep on making us hear your song? / Tellin’ us how you are changin’ right from wrong / ’Cause if you really want to hear our views / You haven’t done nothin’

Yeah, now / N-n-nothin’, nothin’

Jackson 5 sing along again, say / Doo-doo-wop / Doo-doo-wop, oh / Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh-oh / Doo-doo-wop, sing it, baby / Doo-doo-wop, bum-bum-bum / Doo-doo-wop, um-bum-bum / Doo-doo-wop, come on

Sing it loud for your people, say / Doo-doo-wop, um-bum-bum / Doo-doo-wop, stand up be counted, say / Doo-doo-wop, go-go-go / Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh / Doo-doo-wop, um-bum-bum / Doo-doo-wop, ah, hmm / Doo-doo-wop, this man, doo-doo-wop
