“A boy is born in hard time Mississippi,
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty,
His parents give him love and affection,
To keep him strong, moving in the right direction,
Living just enough, just enough for the city.”

Living For The City
Song lyrics, Innervisions (1973)

“Call up, ring once, hang up the phone,
To let me know you made it home,
Don't want nothing to be wrong,
With part-time lover.”

Part-Time Lover
Song lyrics, In Square Circle (1985)

“Well I'm a man of many wishes,
Hope my premonition misses,
But what I really feel,
My eyes won't let me hide,
'Cause they always start to cry,
'Cause this time could mean goodbye.”

Lately
Song lyrics, Hotter Than July (1980)

“I'm so darn glad he let me try it again,
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin,
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then,
Gonna keep on trying until I reach my highest ground.”

Higher Ground
Song lyrics, Innervisions (1973)

“You know it doesn't make much sense,
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offence
At a day in your celebration,
'Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you,
And I'm sure you would agree,
What could fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party
On the day you came to be?
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday.”

Happy Birthday
Song lyrics, Hotter Than July (1980)

“They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise.
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise.
They've been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind,
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise.”

Pastime Paradise
Song lyrics, Songs In The Key of Life (1976)
