[@kathymangen227]

God, I love this song! What a gift this man is.

[@sgoode45]

I cry everytime I hear it. I mean really. The lyrics are devastating. I want my mom back.

[@kingjefferson5677]

Me too! I loss my Dear Mother Dorothy (R.I.G.)on 3-31-01 but I know she's in Heaven smiling down on me.😢😇🕊🙏🏽

[@tinagrier5304]

I understand that. the lyrics are all that & make u cry.

[@ClueSign]

Stevie finds the deepest, most universal themes that are only emotions when I feel them, and sets them soaring into the heavens with melody and words. Thank you, Mr. Morris, for sharing your extraordinary gift with the world.

[@VALlewellyn]

there are some very important songs on this earth. This one is one of them. We are blessed to be able to love this song and all that Stevie has given us.

[@horsluva0758]

I totally agree Viola. Stevie is so blessed with God-given talent, and we're blessed that he shares it with the world.

[@SIGNALFREQ]

Most definitely

[@lindalackey4609]

So true this song touches the soul and heart ,I wish I could go back to this time

[@1881Gordon]

Totally agree with Viola from 9 years ago, and everyone else who has commented above me. This (double) song is my favourite of all time, but you really do need to sit and listen to both this and superwoman in one go. A truly genius body of work.

[@georgegilbert9100]

This is probably his best song ever . Somthing about this song caputres and takes you to another dimension. Seems like this song was made in some other world and sent to our world with stevie as the vessell. Souds crazy but that the kind of feerling this song invokes deep within the inermost part of your sprit. Anyone else feels this way ? planet out thete

So many tears of joy, listening to this song. My childhood, when the entire family would decorate the tree and man it was tall. My father and mother in their 30's, so much love, with my 3 brothers. Happy Holidays to everyone. My parents are now 69 and 68 respectively.

You must look and listen to gain a different perspective on this song, she loved him very much. He was selfish and attempted to stunt her growth.

[@geewhiz1739]

@@carolcrowley3040 Stunt her growth? The man is ALWAYS supposed to work, and provide love and protection. No exceptions. Why couldn't she?

[@carolcrowley3040]

@@geewhiz1739 She was contributing, but he was chauvinistic, so she left him. He wanted to cage her on his shelf like a bird.

[@geewhiz1739]

@@carolcrowley3040 If that's your interpretation, fine. I just know as a man, I'm always required to do all of that. Be Superman, loving, and supportive. How many times have you seen a man do all that, and the woman gets a lover, sleeping in their house saying he works too much?

[@marynordseth2788]

Where I live is a resident who sings this song, and says Stevie Wonder's his fav composer.

Stevie is one of the greatest music composers that is still alive in my opinion. I got that ol Skool blood in me

This song is really sad when you loose someone so close to you that loved you so much and you wish that they were there right then and there

[@scottbluebond7837]

Total goosebumps. I love me my Stevie!

[@davidpatterson8657]

this reminds me of a dear girlfriend of mine who had done me so wrong in our relationship. But this song helps me to get over the pain one day at a time.

Lyrics: (This song is actually titled Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)) Mary wants to be a superwoman But is that really in her head But I just want to live each day to love her For what she is Mary wants to be another movie star But is that really in her mind And all the things she wants to be She needs to leave behind But, very well, I believe I know you very well Wish that you knew me too-very well And I think I can deal with everything going through your head Very well, and I think I can face very well Wish that you knew me too very well And I think I can cope with everything going through your head Mary wants to be a superwoman And try to boss the bull around But does she really think that she will get by with a dream My woman want to be a superwoman And I just had to say good-bye Because I can't spend all my hours start to cry But, very well, I believe I know you Very well wish that you knew me too Very well, and I think I can deal with everything going through your head Very well, think that I know you too Very well, wish you knew me like I know you Very well, but I think I can deal with everything going through your head Very well (dumb dumb da, dumb dumb da) Very well, wish you knew me too Very well, and I wish I could think of everything going through your head Very well, dumb dumb da, dumb da, dumb da Dumb dumb da, dumb dumb da, dumb da, dumb da, very well And I think I can deal with everything going through your head When the summer came you were not around Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love? When the winter came you went further south Parting from love's nest, leaving me in doubt Where are you when I need you, like right now? Our love is at an end But you say now you have changed But tomorrow will reflect love's past When the winter came you were not around Through the bitter winds love could not be found Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love? Our love is at an end But you say now you have changed, But tomorrow will reflect love's past oh Spring will fill the air and you will come around Well is it summer love that will let me down? Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love? La la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la, la la la la la Where are you when I need you, like right now? Right now, right now, right now, oh Where were you when I needed you last winter, my dear? Oh I know you, yeah, I need you baby, I need you baby I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby Oh, where were you when I needed you last winter, last winter, oh no Oh yeah, brace yourself, need you baby, need you, need you baby Oh, you want me too need you baby Oh where were you when I needed you last, dear Yeah

Valerie (Nettie) Ferguson....this song is about YOU! That day you saw me in the guidance counselor's office after school in Octobert of '86. You spoke to me and asked me if I had a girlfriend (which I did) and I told you that. But....where were you when I needed you and tried to be with you in summer of '85?!? Where was the interest at THAT time Val?? You just don't know how much I liked you and wanted to be with you (and I ain't talking about no one night stand sh*t either, I wanted to be your man!!! Remember the 5 page letters I used to write you?) but we can't go back in time..... :( I hope all is well with you baby.
