Stevie Wonder is one of the most critically and commercially successful musical performers of the 20th century.
Written in 1974, this song became Wonder's fourth Number 1 pop hit and his tenth Number 1 soul hit. Featuring background vocals from the Jackson Five, the song criticized then-President Richard Nixon, who resigned two days after its release, felled by the Watergate scandal that had enveloped his administration.
We are amazed but not amused By all the things you say that you'll do Though much concerned but not involved With decisions that are made by you But we are sick and tired of hearing your song Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views "You haven't done nothing"! It's not too cool to be ridiculed But you brought this upon yourself The world is tired of pacifiers We want the truth and nothing else And we are sick and tired of hearing your song Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views "You haven't done nothing"! Jackson 5 join along with me say Doo doo wop - hey hey hey Doo doo wop - wow wow wow Doo doo wop - co co co Doo doo wop - naw naw naw Doo doo wop - bum bum bum Doo doo wop We would not care to wake up to the nightmare That's becoming real life But when mislead who knows a person's mind Can turn as cold as ice un hum Why do you keep on making us hear your song Telling us how you are changing right from wrong 'Cause if you really want to hear our views "You haven't done nothing"! Yeah Jackson 5 sing along again say Doo doo wop Doo doo wop - oh Doo doo wop - co co co Doo doo wop - sing it baby Doo doo wop - bum bum bum Doo doo wop - um Sing it loud for your people say Doo doo wop - um um um Doo doo wop - stand up be counted, say Doo doo wop - co co co Doo doo wop - ow Doo doo wop - bum bum bum Doo doo wop - ah hum
