from innervisions...one of the best damn break up songs EVUH!

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time

The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

This song rocks. Heard it first right after I graduated from college. The bomb.

Stevie never did very deep lyrics..lol

lol,I was just listening to 'Innervisions' yesterday."All In Love Is Fair" is one of most beautiful ballads I have ever heard....simply amazing!

I adore this song


there's an outstanding rendition from Nancy Wilson, which I used to play on endless loop years ago. gotta dig it out again great song!

did you guys ever hear Marc Anthony's version of this song? It's pretty good. Was released a few years ago on that Stevie Wonder tribute album.

Poignant as a mutha. When did Stevie break up with Syreeta? He wrote a real cool break-up song for her "Cause We've Ended Now As Lovers".

that somg always makes me cry

even reading the words to myself, and thinking of the tune, makes me misty

I have to give this songs a few more tries, I guess...

sidebar: I always think of this song back-2-back with Everything Must Change (George Benson's version).

I've always loved the deep emotion in this song. Very powerful stuff.

wasn't this featured in spike lee's jungle fever (but not included on the soundtrack)..i could be thinking about "make sure you're sure"...and i haven't seen the movie in like 10 years...but it was either at the end of the movie, or when lonnette mckee confronted wesley snipes about his affair

It's pretty stark. The piano is played quite hard. Real feeling in there.

One of my fave's from Wonder, off of one of Wonder's best albums. The song, to me, has a Beatle sensibility to it. I guess I should say I can hear the Beatles influence in it. Anybody who's a fan of the Beatles ballads may hear what I'm talking about.

I tend to think of 'Blame It On The Sun' too when I hear this track. Some similar emotions involved, but 'All In Love Is Fair' is the stronger track, I think.

Innervisions, to me, is like listening to the voice of God coming through Stevie from beginning to end.

To me, it's his greatest album, even better than Songs.
