Stevie Wonder - For Once In My Life

I Wanna Make Her Love Me

Hey!
Woo-woo-woo-woo
Woo-woo-woo-woo
I wanna make her love me 'til the rock ain't stone (woo-woo-woo-woo)

And I wanna make her love me 'til the cows come home (woo-woo-woo-woo)
And I wanna make her love me 'til the fire don't burn (woo-woo-woo-woo)
And I wanna make her love me 'til the world cease to turn (woo-woo-woo-woo)
Oh Papa, I'm like a little lost lamb

Reaching for a girl that's out of reach
Ah, sit right down and talk to me man to man
Tell me how to practice what you used to preach
Oh, Papa used to tell me that a man could do

Anything he ever put his heart into
But I wanna make her love me 'til them seas run dry (woo-woo-woo-woo)
And I wanna make her love me 'til money can't buy (woo-woo-woo-woo)
I wanna make her love me 'til the fifth week in May (woo-woo-woo-woo)

And I wanna make her love me 'til ol' man river runs away
Oh, she's a ditty and as pretty as Mona Lisa
Papa's rich and her mama's proud
I worked three jobs tryin' to get what might please her

But still she lives in a world where I ain't allowed
Ah papa, you used to tell me it may take a little sweat
But when a man wakes up, he sure enough will get
I wanna make her love me 'til the kingdom come
I wanna make her love me 'til the cows come home
I gonna make her love me 'til right is wrong

Ah
Hey, yeah
Hey
Woo-woo-woo-woo
Woo-woo-woo-woo

Ah, I can't compete with baby face Pete
And I ain't no match for Lou (woo-woo-woo-woo)
He gave her a diamond, a diamond ring the other week
And all I can give her is a heart so true

Oh, Papa used to say a true heart will reign
What a true heart desires it sure enough will gain
But I wanna make her love me 'til the rock ain't stone

I wanna make her love me 'til the cows come home (woo-woo-woo-woo)
I gonna make her love me 'til it snows in June (woo-woo-woo-woo)
Hey, hey, save on my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah (woo-woo-woo-woo)
