I Gave Up Quality For Quantity - Stevie Wonder

You’re such a sweet thing

You’re so fine

You’re just as pretty on the inside

As you are outside

To think that you were mine

And when some other girls start hanging around

Like a fool I went and put you down

I gave up quality for quantity

Gave up quality for quantity

And now I’m sad and blue

Because I put them all together

And they don’t equal just one you

(Just one you, just one you)

You gave me all your love

With a gentle touch (With a gentle touch)

How could I have given up one girl

For five times as many

And still not have as much?

They say that a bird in the hand

Is worth ten in the bush

And since I gave you up for them

You don’t know how I wish

I hadn’t gave up quality for quantity

Gave up quality for quantity

And now I’m sad and blue

Because I put them all together

And they don’t equal just one you

(Just one you, just one you)

Little old you

Oh, baby, now, you’ve got a certain quality

That only diamonds possess

The rest are like costume jewelry

You’re the best (You're the best)

Baby, I confess (I confess)

I never should have gave up quality for quantity

Gave up quality for quantity

And now I’m sad and blue

Because I put them all together

And they don’t equal just one you

(Just one you, just one you)

Whoa, I shouldn’t have gave

Gave up quality for quantity

Tell me why did I give up quality for quantity

I never should have gave up
