All Instruments-Stevie Wonder Music of My Mind is a landmark album by Stevie Wonder, released on March 3, 1972 when Wonder was only 21 years old. Many observers count this album as the beginning of Wonder's "classic period", though others look to the previous one or the following one. It is his fourteenth studio release. Wonder returned to Motown in March 1972 with Music of My Mind. Unlike most previous albums on Motown, which usually consisted of a collection of singles, B-sides and covers, Music of My Mind was a full-length artistic statement with songs flowing together thematically. Wonder's lyrics dealt with social, political, and mystical themes as well as standard romantic ones, while musically Wonder began exploring overdubbing and recording most of the instrumental parts himself. Music of My Mind marked the beginning of a long collaboration with Tonto's Expanding Head Band. Mary wants to be a superwoman But is that really in her head But I just want to live each day to love her for what she is Mary wants to be another movie star But is that really in her mind And all the things she wants to be She needs to leave behind But, very well, I believe I know you-very well Wish that you knew me too-very well And I think I can deal with everything going through your head Very well, and I think I can face-very well Wish that you knew me too-very well And I think I can cope with everything going through your head Mary wants to be a superwoman And try to boss the bull around But does she really think that she will get by with a dream My woman want to be a superwoman And I just had to say good-bye Because I can't spend all my hours start to cry But, very well, I believe I know you Very well wish that you knew me too Very well, And I think I can deal with everything going through your head Very well, think that I know you too Very well, wish you knew me like I know you Very well, but I think I can deal with everything going through your head Your filthy head Very well, dum dum da, dum dum da Very well, wish you knew me too Very well, And I wish I could think of everything going through your head Very well, dum dum da, dum da, dum da dum dum da, dum da, very well And I think I can deal with everything going through your head When the summer came you were not around Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found Where were you when I needed you-last winter, my love?
