When you believe in a feeling
That's keeping you back from my love
You've got it bad, girl.
Yvonne wrote the lyrics, Stevie did the music. It is on,
arguably, the greatest album Stevie's ever done - Talking Book. He did
it first as far as I know.
As for the ending - I don't have the willy foggiest, as I don't
own that particular cover. The ending of the original just fades with
the backing vocals singing 'You'll have it good girl' and Stevie
echoing and ad-libbing those sentiments.
If you haven't got it - go get it. NOW!!!
Smile Please
later
