Superstition

Originally intended for Jeff Beck, Stevie Wonder debuted his masterpiece while opening for the Rolling Stones in 1972.

“A lot of people let superstition rule their lives. This is crazy. The worst thing is, the more you believe in it, the more bad things happen to you.” said Wonder.

Very superstitious
Writing's on the wall

Very superstitious
Ladder's 'bout to fall

13-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
The good things in your past

When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah

Ooh, very superstitious
Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem
Do all that you can

Keep me in a daydream
Keep me going strong
You don't want to save me
Sad is my song

When you believe in things
You don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah

Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
The devil's on his way

13-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

No, no, no
