You Met Your Match (Live At The Fox Theatre, Detroit, MI / 1968) lyrics

[Announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen
For once in my lifetime, there's someone to love me
Would you welcome please, the exciting young man of song
Mister Stevie Wonder
(Cheers and applause)

You, hey, you were good at playing the fox girl
When I was good, you threw me a bone
But I ain't playing hot for nobody
Girl, just you wait 'til I get you home
I'll show you the way to love somebody
Like you've never ever ever been shown
Because my love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you, woo

You played around with Jimmy and Freddie
You tried to make me look like a fool
But I took care of Cindy and Susie
Just to show you I can be twice as cool, baby
If you want to learn how to love me
I'll teach you in my own private school
Because my love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you
Let me hear you say it
When you play with my affection, say it
When you tried to make me walk the line
When you decided you would hurt me
Ah, when your grape feel from the vine
Your mama told me that I better be mellow
She said, "You're just a baby, maybe too green"
I told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and Victor
They know better, mama shake off that dream
Ooh, I told her that you really were cooking
There was more love turning to steam

'Cause my love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you, woo, hey

You met your match
When you told me you loved me, say it
When you said that you won't let go

You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, baby, woo, get down
You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your...

You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your...
You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your...

You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match

You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your...

You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your match, you met your match
You met your match

What I'm trying to say
Is when you find that you're too good for anybody else
You're just right for Stevie, mmm-hmm
