Stevie Wonder – Superstition Free Audio Download
“Superstition” was a pivotal shift not only in Stevie Wonder’s career, but also in popular black music. The song in some ways represents the end of the Civil Rights Movement and the “sound of integration” Motown was providing. As the Black Power Movement was gaining steam, soul and funk music was about to become the predominate form of black musical expression, and “Superstition” represents the beginning of that shift.
“Superstition Lyrics”
[Verse 1]
Very superstitious
Writing’s on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladder’s about to fall
Thirteen month old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
The good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don’t understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain’t the way
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don’t understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain’t the way
[Verse 3]
Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
The devil’s on his way
Thirteen month old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you believe in things
That you don’t understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain’t the way
No, no, no
