Stevie Wonder
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
[Verse 1]
Is 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 submachine
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 clear for you to see
So many burnt out lives trapped in their misery
[Chorus]
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Look what's happened to our world
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
We're so sorry
Only chance for a better one
Is up to you and he
Please! Forgive us for what we've done
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
[Bridge]
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 one time, one time
Treat each day like this is it
And give the best you can
[Chorus]
Please, Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Look what's happened to our world
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
We're so sorry
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, Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Oh, 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 begging on our knees
Please! Forgive us for what we've done
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
Ms. & Mr. Little Ones
[Outro]
Thank you.
